Luc Sante on Photography: The Genius of the System
Thursday 15 November, 2012

School of Visual Arts Theatre
333 West 23 Street
Writer and critic Luc Sante examines how photography is unlike other arts, as it is seldom entirely within the control of the artist and almost always represents a collaboration with chance. This keeps the meaning of the photograph in flux; it is changed by successive generations of viewers. Sante sees photography as a broad continuum of which self-consciously artistic expression occupies only a small portion, but across which artistic realization can potentially be found at any point at any time. Presented by the MFA Art Criticism and Writing Department.
