How does photography inform and extend into different disciplines? Join artist Tom Lovelace in this five-week exploration of contemporary expanded photography through a mix of talking and making, taking this year’s Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize as a starting point.
The potential and possibilities of the photograph will be examined through a framework of sculpture, performance, collaboration and sound. The artists nominated for the DB demonstrate dynamic, often fluid practices, which move in and out of photography.
An interdisciplinary approach to photography will provide a platform for participants to contemplate, discuss and respond through making. In addition to this year’s prize nominees, we will also explore other contemporary practitioners who push and test the boundaries of the photographic image.
Artists and photographers referenced include Tania Bruguera, Gauri Gill & Rajesh Vangad, Felicity Hammond, Lebohang Kganye, Ben McDonnell, Hayley Morris-Cafiero, Hrair Sarkissian and VALIE EXPORT, among many others.
Led by artist and lecturer Tom Lovelace.
