The Printmaker, The Artist & The Curator: A Collaboration | Nazraeli Press @ The Reef

Details

The Printmaker, The Artist & The Curator: A CollaborationPrintmaker and Publisher, Barret Oliver of The ƒ/Ø Project and Photographer William Camargo will join Linde Lehtinen, the Philip D. Nathanson Senior Curator of Photography for The Huntington, in a public conversation to discuss their work together and the art and science of collaboration. This free PAC LA event will be open to the public and held at the new Nazraeli Press space at The Reef (see address details above). Printmaker and Publisher Barret Oliver created The ƒ/Ø Project , a studio established to rethink the nature of the photographic object, by starting again from the beginning. The aim is to marry the technologies of photographic history with artists from the contemporary world, giving them the opportunity to expand their vocabulary by working in a wider variety of photographic printmaking techniques. William Camargo is one such artist from the contemporary world. He uses photography, installation, public interventions, and archives to address issues of gentrification, and Chicanx/Latinx histories. He and Oliver worked together on a beautiful series of albumen prints which were recently acquired by The Huntington's photography collection under the direction of curator Linde Lehtinen. Oliver writes, William Camargo's work tackles real historical incidents of political injustice while at the same time providing a privileged glimpse into the personal domestic spaces rarely captured by mainstream representations of activism. As the Philip D. Nathanson Senior Curator of Photography at The Huntington, Dr. Linde Lehtinen is responsible for the Library’s vast photography collection of over 800,000 images. Her work with Oliver and Camargo brings these stunning photographs to the wider museum-going audience, and preserves them for future generations.
