Geoffrey Batchen til Nasjonalbiblioteket
Arthur Tennøe
Photography: Migration/Dissemination
Conference with Geoffrey Batchen, Professor in art history, Victoria University of Wellington.
Time: Monday 23. of November.
Geoffrey Batchen's work as a teacher, writer and curator focuses on the history of photography. He is particularly interested in the way that photography mediates every other aspect of modern life, whether we're talking about sex or war, atoms or planets, commerce or art.
He has helped to pioneer the study of vernacular photography, photographs not intended as art, such as snapshots, commercial photos, and objects like photographic jewellery.
The conference program will focus on the complexity of photography from calotype to digital and explore themes such as migration, dissemination, reproduction, storage and distribution.
Full program will be published later.
