The first event of ACP’s programming is this Thursday: Christopher Bucklow, ACP 10 Lecture Series, at Rich Theater, Woodruff Arts Center.

Christopher Bucklow is widely known for the photographic silhouettes he makes using a pinhole camera. In Europe, Bucklow is also known for the ongoing series of paintings that stem from those photographs. Currently working in both media, Bucklow is exhibiting new photographs at Jackson Fine Art in Atlanta, and recent paintings at Riflemaker gallery in London.

In 2004 Blindspot, New York, published a monograph on his photographs entitled “Guest”, and that same year, The British Museum published a monograph on his paintings (“Christopher Bucklow: If This Be Not I”). Bucklow also exhibits with Artereal gallery in Australia, and Mssohkan Gallery in Japan. He has recently written a book on the iconography of Philip Guston’s late paintings. His work is included in the collections of many museums across the United States.

This event is free and open to the public. Christopher Bucklow’s lecture coincides with an exhibition of his work at Jackson Fine Art. Presented with the High Museum of Art and Jackson Fine Art.
