When: Wednesday, February 15, 2012
Time: Noon to 1:00pm
Where: Miller Gallery in the Mark Building, Portland Art Museum 1219 SW Park Avenue, Portland, OR 97205
Cost: Free to the public. (Attendees are welcome to bring a lunch.)
The Portland Art Museum Photography Council's Spring 2012 Brown Bag Lunch Talk theme is creativity. Portland artist and gallerist Laura Russell will speak about the creation of photographic artist books. Photographic artist books are hand-bound, one-of-a-kind or limited edition books that feature photography as their primary image medium. They have a distinguished history, from Anna Atkins' cyanotype photogram albums of British algae in the 1800's to the ever-popular Twentysix Gasoline Stations by Ed Ruscha. Add in a growing contingent of contemporary photographic artist books and we have a fascinating history in books. Photographer and book artist Laura Russell's illustrated lecture will feature artist books that showcase photographs both in traditional and non-traditional formats.
About the Brown Bag Lunch Talks This panel is open to the public and is part of the Photography Council's monthly "Brown Bag Lunch Talks," a series of informal presentations by Northwest photography luminaries, held on the third Wednesday of the month from Noon - 1 p.m. in the Miller Gallery at the Portland Art Museum. The Brown Bag Lecture Talk series is a presentation of the Portland Art Museum's Photography Council and is generously sponsored by ProPhoto Supply.
