Photography Studies Club

Filter Photo welcomes photobook enthusiasts, artists, and observers of visual culture to a casual monthly gathering: Photography Studies Club. Co-hosted by Kristie Kahns and Filter programming fellow Kenn Cook, each session of Photography Studies Club will present a curated selection of books for discussion and suggested readings of current scholarship to consider urgent and provocative questions in the contemporary photographic field. We will view monographic publications, exhibition catalogues, and edited volumes about the history and theory of photography to examine narrative form, production qualities, curatorial themes, and the resonances across different artists’ practices.

Guest speakers and facilitators will add distinct perspectives to the discussions. Refreshments will be served. RSVP strongly encouraged; registered attendees will receive links to suggested readings prior to the gathering.

Meetings are scheduled for September 11, October 16, November 13, December 11, January 8, February 12.
