Joel Sternfeld: Old Autumn, It Was I

Artist talk and book signing with New York artist-photographer Joel Sternfeld.

Joining us from New York, Joel Sternfeld will talk about his work and the role that seasons have had as a central imaginative preoccupation in many of his projects. In particular American Prospects, Hart Island, Walking the High Line, Oxbow Archive and Our Loss have all been structured around a complete cycle of seasons. He will also discuss his understanding of text and image as an important future for photography: both the challenges and the expressive possibilities will be examined. Sternfeld has worked on numerous projects combining photographs and text, including On This Site, Sweet Earth: Experimental Utopias in America, Treading on Kings, Protesting the G-8 in Genoa and A book of Justified True belief. The talk will be followed by a book-signing.

Admission is by donation.
