Photography as Poetic Record

Photography has evolved under changing socio-political climates, technologies, and market pressures, and artists using photography today continue to address their interests and concerns using formal innovations. The medium reminds the viewer that representation itself is unstable. How can artists who use photography address broader societal concerns in a way that honors the poetics of the medium, while that medium has a troubled relationship to the record? This course will coincide with a fall symposium and exhibition. Class discussions, creating photographs, and visits with working artists will expand approaches to the medium.
