Join us for this FREE artist talk with Jane Boyer as she presents:ย The Place Where My Inner Self and the Outer World Meet on the Threshold of Image Making.
In this talk Jane will deconstruct her failed submission to Der Greif Magazine’s Guest Room open call โ A Close Call. This edition of Guest Room, curated by Joshua Chuang and Barney Kulok, expanded the definition of a ‘close call’ adapting it to photographic terms. Jane’s response to the proximity of camera and subject in a close-up; the communication or command of a call; and to look closely or to pay attention was these five images from Breathing in Rain which she will discuss for The [c] Word.
To deconstruct her entry, Jane will consider the five submitted images against principles of analogue photography and post-photography, asking questions of herself and addressing contradictions in how she thinks about the work as opposed to how she speaks about it.. Jane is a lens-based artist, curator, and academic researcher. Her research is concerned with the recurring influences of the past that are at work in our present actions. This relates to the internal agitation of the simulacrum. Currently, Jane is directing her camera to issues of climate change, as a recurrent simulacral memory, unrelieved agitation, and as a very real concern for our future.
