Hear photographer Charlee Brodsky and curator Akemi May discuss the varied past and current fascination with what was once considered the lowly still life. May shares insights into the exhibition A Delight for the Senses: The Still Life and Brodsky discusses her most recent work, The Audacity of the Mundane, a series of still lifes that pay homage to artistic traditions of the past and feature objects from her personal life, which often squeak because they’re made of plastic.
This lecture is free and open to the public; no registration is required.
Still Life Composition Workshop
Following the lecture, join Brodsky for a hands-on composition workshop that combines drawing and photography. Spots are limited, so register now!
