Bernd and
Hilla Becher and the Photographic Afterlife of Heavy Industry
|
|
Thursday, July 14, 6–7 pm
Bonnie J. Sacerdote Lecture Hall, Uris Center for Education
Artists Bernd and
Hilla Becher focused on a single subject: the disappearing industrial
architecture of Western Europe and North America that fueled the modern
era. Their photographic typologies of industrial architecture can be seen
as, among many other things, a memorial to places of modern industry and
the monoliths it imposed on the landscape. Join scholars and writers for a
discussion about interpreting these photographs in the present day and how
they might be perceived in the future.
Free, though advance registration is required.
