JULY SPEAKING OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Brett Abbott, curator of Photography, High Museum of Art in Conversation with Chip Simone
Wednesday, July 18, 7:30 PM
This summer the High is exhibiting more photography at one time than ever before. Special exhibits: Picturing the South, Picturing New York and Cancer Alley as well as works from the High's permanent collection are currently on exhibition throughout the Museum. One visit will
not be enough to absorb the vast array of imagery included in the exhibitions. We encourage members to take a good look at all the work in the HMA exhibits with emphasis on range and diversity. Consider all the ways that photography is used to express personal issues and concerns and how does this apply to you. What lessons can we learn about photography overall from seeing this exhibit so diverse in style, scale, content and intent? Can we make generalizations
about the nature of the medium?
You are invited to listen in on a candid conversation between
Chip and Brett.
Recent reviews from Arts Atlanta and NYTimes:
Arts Atlanta Review of Kael Alford's "Bottom of da Boot"
New York Times Review of the High's "Picturing the South"
The talk is free and open to the public. Donations and Memberships make programs like this possible. APG is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
