Mining Photographic Archives with Eric William Carroll
Mining Photographic Archives with Eric William Carroll
Six Week Practice Group - Starts July 18th and meets every Tuesday from 6:30 - 8 pm ET
With approximately five billion photographs made every day, it can be utterly overwhelming to search and sift through other people's photos. Enter the archive! This practice group facilitated by artist and photographer Eric William Carroll will walk you through his experience collaborating with archivists & archives and incorporating appropriated imagery into his own creative practice.
Eric will speak openly and in detail about how he approaches photographic archives and offer up his advice and prompts to guide you through the process of collaborating with image archives.
This practice group will be sure to touch on hot-button topics such as copyright, image quality, and transformation.
Kinship uses a pay-what-you-can honor system with a minimum donation or $50. The average contribution for a six-week practice group is $125. Please give as generously as you can. If you cannot afford the minimum contribution of $50 please don't hesitate to request a scholarship.
Eric William Carroll’s work on photography, science, and nature explores the differences in how we experience, organize, and represent the world. Through his photographs, installations, and performances, Carroll creates visual and emotional connections that span enormous distances in space and time. As a public scholar Carroll activates archives and collaborates playfully with artists and non-artists alike. At the heart of his practice is a genuine sense of curiosity and humor that questions traditional binary relationships.
Carroll’s work has been shown widely and has been included in exhibitions at the New Orleans Museum of Art, Aperture Foundation, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Pier 24 Photography, among others. Carroll has participated in residencies with the MacDowell Colony, Rayko Photo Center and the Blacklock Nature Sanctuary, and was the winner of the 2012 Baum Award for Emerging Photographers. Born and raised in the Midwest, Carroll is currently based in Asheville, North Carolina.
