Outside Inside

Abelardo Morell and John Paul Caponigro explore photography as a tool for expanding perception.

Santa Fe Workshops collection of free online events, Creativity Continues features an evening with fine-art photographers Abelardo Morell and John Paul Caponigro. In this special hour of inspiration, Abelardo and John Paul explore photography as a tool for expanding perception. As Abelardo says, “The very basics of photography can be potent and strange. So why not make pictures about the medium itself and see where they would take me?”

Deeply versed in the history of art, with one eye on photography and the other on classical forms of image making, Abelardo is a contemporary artist best known for turning rooms into camera obscuras and then capturing the marriage of interior and exterior in large-format photographs. In addition, his wide-ranging artistic practice embraces optics, books, paper, paint, ceramics, wood blocks, cliché verre, and photograms, to name a few. With inspiring images preceding insightful conversation, this program is certain to be a delight for the eyes and mind.

Abelardo and John Paul conclude the evening with a lively Q&A session with the webinar audience. Even if you can’t make the live event, a recording will be available to all those registered.
