Join us on Tuesday, April 28th at 7 PM for “Photography: The Index”, the April meeting of our “Art Sessions: A Series of Discussions on Visual Contemporary Art” panel series. The photograph literally reflects its subject, inscribing its trace onto a light-sensitive surface. This fact forms a unique connection between the photograph and that which it describes. This panel considers the indexical nature of photography by looking at contemporary projects in a discussion with photographers Jerry Spagnoli, Deborah Luster, duo Keith Calhoun and Chandra McCormick, and freelance curator Eva Diaz; moderated by photographer Stephen Hilger. To what extent does photography’s indexicality–its link to what is real–remain as the medium continues to evolve away from traditional photographic materials toward digital technologies? Suggested donation $3.00. Discussion will be held at LouisianaArtWorks, 725 Howard Avenue at Carondelet.

 

We look forward to seeing you there!
