25 Dederick St

Saturday, August 5, 20239﻿:00 am - 5:00 pmIn this one-day workshop, Justine Kurland, known for her utopian photographs of American landscapes and their fringe communities, will lead you further toward a working practice based on a process of making, thinking, and remaking. Through individual critiques in a group setting, participants will spend the day discussing technique, philosophy, and learn to identify and trust one’s own vision with the goal of enhancing one’s ability to produce work that is both unique and meaningful.Critiques will be structured to stimulate a process of constructive reassessment of creative habits in light of critical issues. Utilizing a vast range of historical and contemporary photographic references, Justine will assist and guide photographers as they develop a critical framework around their own photographic practice that includes situating the medium of photography in relation to other fine art media, as well as film, video, and popular culture.This workshop is open to all levels, to participants at all stages, whether you are just starting out or are eager for feedback on an existing body of work. What to bring: A portfolio of 20-30 prints or digital images.Justine Kurland has spent the better part of the last twenty years on the road, creating works later published as Girl Pictures, staged photographs of teenage girls imagining they had run away together, and Highway Kind, a book of photographs of her son Casper at different ages appearing against open vistas and among the subcultures of train-hoppers and drifters that they encountered while traversing north to south. Most recently, Kurland published Scumb Manifesto, a book of collages cut from the pages of photography books in her personal library authored by canonized white men. These object-based tactile objects confront the fathers of photography by creating both literal and imaginative spaces for women. Justine Kurland received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts and her MFA from Yale University. Her work has been exhibited extensively at museums in the United States and internationally. She was the focus of a solo exhibition at Higher Pictures Generation in Brooklyn, New York, last spring, and a two-person show with her father at Buffalo University’s Anderson Gallery. Class Limit: 8Tuition: $550/ CPW members $450
