Attention all Summer Photo Workshops students, tenderfoot photographers, avid art appreciators, at-large academics, and hungry after hours learners…
Join us for a free public lecture, presented in conjunction with the 2009 McKnight Artist Fellowships for Photographers exhibition and Franklin’s Summer Photo Workshops for Teens Program.
Covering a variety of topics from Google streetviews to the war in Afghanistan, Leo will discuss new works, digital and otherwise, that push the envelope of what we think of as photography. Some of the artists discussed will be Tim Hetherington, Penelope Unbrico, and Sam Taylor-Woods.
The lecture will take place on Saturday, July 16 at 12pm at Franklin Art Works and is free and open to the public.
Afterwards, check out the 2009 McKnight Artist Fellowships for Photographers Exhibition in Franklin’s Main Gallery and enjoy complimentary refreshments.
