the photographic medium in a post-medium age


A few interesting things happening at Massey in the next few weeks. Not least of which, the upcoming Peter Turner Memorial Lecture with Prof Anne Marsh.

Visiting from Monash University, Melbourne, and drawing on research for her recent book LOOK! Contemporary Australian Photography, Marsh will explore some of the issues that concern photography in the 21st Century. She will address critiques of the post medium condition and explore the influence of digital technologies and photo-installation through the works of several Australian art photographers who engage with the medium of photography in various ways.

Following the leading research of Geoffrey Batchen (who spoke recently at Victoria University), Australian photographic theorists seem to be breaking new ground.

When: 5:00pm, Saturday 21 November 2009, followed by light refreshments.
Location/venue: Museum Building Theaterette (10A02), Massey University, Buckle St, Wellington. Cost: FREE. RSVP (acceptances only) By: Noon Weds 18 November 2009
