The Griffin Museum will host an online artist talk with HAS faculty Ellen Carey on Sunday, Oct. 26. Carey’s talk “Back to The Future: The Avant-Garde is An Address” will explore photography as a visual art form at the forefront of the avant-garde, highlighting its capacity for disruption, experimentation, and transformation. According to the Griffin Museum, the conversation “invites us to reconsider photography not just as a tool of representation, but as a medium of ongoing reinvention and radical visual exploration.”
With a career spanning over four decades, Carey is known for her pioneering work in abstract and experimental photography. She is an university educator, independent scholar, guest curator, experimental photographer and lens-based artist. The Royal Photographic Society (RPS) named Carey one of the top 100 women photographers worldwide, one of 14 Americans. Her unique and experimental pictures have been seen in over 70 solo plus hundreds of group exhibits, reproduced in books, brochures and other printed matter. More about Carey can be found here.
Ellen Carey’s talk “Back to The Future: The Avant-Garde is An Address” will be held online via Zoom from 1 p.m.–2:30 p.m. The event is free for the Griffin Museum members, and $10 for non-members.
