Event: Fine Artist or Commercial Photographer?
Tomorrow evening there's a free panel discussion put on by Aperture entitled "Fine Artist or Commercial Photographer?" This topic came up recently on Alec Soth's blog, in relation to why Justine Kurland would take Jeff Wall's picture for editorial purposes, but probably not vice versa. Aperture has positioned this as a career-oriented discussion, but hopefully it will turn into something more.
Moderator:
Charlie Traub, chairman of the Photography and Related Media Department at the School of Visual Arts
Panelists:
James Danziger, Danziger Projects
Elisabeth Sussman, curator of photography; Whitney Museum of American Art
David Schonauer, editor-in-chief, American Photo
Tuesday, March 13, 2007 at 6:30 p.m.
Aperture Gallery
547 W 27th St, 4th Flr
(212) 505-5555
Admission is free.
UPDATE: the moderator of this panel will be Charlie Traub, also of SVA, not Steven Frailey. Frailey will be busy at the reception for "Mentors", also being held tonight. Mentors is a show by 71 of the graduating BFA students who have been guided by a truly impressive and LONG list of, um, mentors.
