Friday, 28 May 2010
5.30pm, Research Forum South Room, Courtauld Institute
Sandra Phillips (Curator of Photographs, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art)
Exposed: Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera
The exhibition, Exposed: Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera, organised by Tate in conjunction with San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, will take place at Tate Modern in summer 2010 and will then travel to San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in the autumn of 2010, and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis in spring 2011. It is curated by Sandra S. Phillips, Senior Curator, Photography, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, with Simon Baker, Curator of Photography, Tate, and Ann Coxon, Assistant Curator, Tate Modern.
The History of Photography research seminar series aims to be a discursive platform for the discussion and dissemination of current research on photography. From art as photography and early photographic technology to ethnographic photographs and contemporary photography as art, the seminar welcomes contributions from researchers across the board, whether independent or affiliated with museums, galleries, archives, libraries or higher education, and endeavours to provide scholars with a challenging opportunity to present work in progress and test out new ideas.
The seminars usually take place once a term, on Wednesday evenings at 5.30pm in the Research Forum. The papers, and formal discussion, are followed by informal discussion over a glass of wine.
