students, i'm going to this on wednesday night, thought i'd encourage you to think about attending--karsten is a respected thinker/writer/curator here in chicago (jason):
Please join LATITUDE for our free monthly lecture series where we ask Curators, Artists, Writers, and Critics to pose a question of their choice. We launch 2013 with Karsten Lund, a Curatorial Assistant at the Museum of Contemporary Art. He asks, “Can we think of photographs as strangers?”
As Lund explains, It takes off in part from one of Susan Sontag’s observations:
“Through photographs, the world becomes a series of unrelated, free-standing particles; and history, past and present, a set of anecdotes, and faits divers. The camera makes reality atomic, manageable, and opaque. It is a view of the world which denies interconnectedness, continuity, but which confers on each moment the character of a mystery.”
When: Wednesday, February 6, 2013, 7:30pm
Where: 2041 W. Carroll – Suite C223, Chicago, Illinois 60612
We look forward to seeing you there!
This series is free and open to the public. Seating is limited so please come early for a spot, or stand along side us!
