Hey guys! I just wanted to let everyone know about the Zoe Strauss opening at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I interned at the PMA over the summer and she came and spoke to all of us, and then I went to her open studio day at the end of the summer. She's really cool and was totally nice about talking to me about her photography career. You can look at her blog at http://zoestrauss.blogspot.com/. If you haven't seen her work, it's mainly street photography of strangers and text based photos. But anyway it's on January 14th and is supposed to be unlike any other PMA opening... wild stuff. I have her book America if anyone wants to take a look at it... it's especially interesting for those of us from the South Jersey/Philly area, since she's a local Philly artist whose work revolves mainly around where she lives.
Also, for those of you not in History of Photography, the professor is hosting a symposium on early photography on Monday, November 7th at 2:00 in the teleconference room of Alexander Library. The professor is really amazing and awesome, and there will be photo historians that will be speaking. Should be interesting!
Morgan, thanks for this! I'll check her work out...she sounds really an interesting artist. Also for the HoP prof....is it Mr Zervigon? I might have my monday class attend. That would be really great! Thanks for posting! A
