ACP Now!

Posted October 13th, 2009 in ACP This Week

It’s the start of another great week of photography events all over the city and beyond! Gregory Crewdson will be speaking on Thursday at the Rialto as part of the ACP 11 Lecture Series.

“Gregory Crewdson received a B.A. from the State University of New York at Purchase in 1985, and an M.F.A. in photography from Yale in 1988. Crewdson’s work has been included in many public collections, most notably the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He has received numerous awards including the Skowhegan Medal for Photography, the National Endowment for the Arts Visual Artists Fellowship and the Aaron Siskind Fellowship.

Crewdson has published several books of his photographs including Hover with ArtSpace Books, Dream of Life with the University of Salamanca, Spain, and Twilight with Abram. Most recently, Hatje Cantz published a book of his work entitled Gregory Crewdson from 1985 to 2005. Crewdson is Senior Critic in Graduate Photography at the Yale University School of Art.

Presented in conjunction with the Society for Photographic Education’s Southeast Regional Conference (SPE se), and GSU’s Rialto Center for the Arts.”

In addition to Mr. Crewdson’s lecture, the My Atlanta Book Fair makes its debut on Saturday. ACP is still seeking photographers who have published a book of their own work for this event. Please call or email ACP if you would like to learn more. The SPE Conference takes place Thursday through Sunday.
