Online registration for The Photographic Event at SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art opens in early July! Don't miss it! Phil Chang will be participating on Saturday, September 24!
The Photographic Event is a two-day symposium that will explore photography’s multifaceted relationship to time, history, and memory through a series of panel discussions, presentations, screenings, and performances.
The symposium is timed to coincide with the closing weekend of About Time: Photography in a Moment of Change, the inaugural presentation of SFMOMA’s photography collection in the new, 15,000-square-foot Pritzker Center for Photography — the largest gallery, research, and interpretive space permanently dedicated to photography in any United States art museum. The exhibition considers the way photography’s complex and ever-changing relationship with time has reflected and inflected our ideas about permanence and obsolescence, history and memory. It showcases work by Dawoud Bey, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Julia Margaret Cameron, Phil Chang, Owen Kydd, and Zoe Leonard, among many others, as well as Recordings #3 (At Sea), a newly commissioned installation by Jason Lazarus.
