Lost & Found will explore the use of appropriated photographs as the basis for making autobiographical projects. Over 6 weeks, participants will be exposed to a diverse range of approaches and discover how working with found material—photographs not authored by the artist—can be a well of inspiration to write personal stories. Topics will include strategies for sourcing photographs, editing, and sequencing. Through readings and image presentations, the workshop will study historical and contemporary works including books, prints, and installations. These discussions will feed assignments that will weave images with text to harness the potential of these materials to evoke, describe, and narrate. Students will create an autobiographical work during the course of the workshop. Click on photo for more information and registration info.
