SPE

I am suprised and elated to report that attending SPE was a complete and utter sucess. Denver was absolutely beautiful and the light quality is amazing, not to mention the warm temps found in the mid 50s. But I wanted to share the artist of note who I had the pleasure of meeting, reconnectiing with, and speaking about photography with.

People of note who I did not have the pleasure of meeting with.
Liz Wells - lecture on the new landscape in Europe. Notions of sense and perception in the European landscape.

Stefan Petranek - the collaboration of artist and scientist and the meeting of the two relms as a rich dialogical space of creation and artistic endevour.

Libby Rowe - Humour as a tool for speaking about the construction of the femine and notions of feminity in culture and society.

Zack Bent - Working with the domestic sphere as site of relationships and familial rites of passage between Father and Son.
