Cameraless Photographs

Wednesday, September 25, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Led by Alison Rossiter

Alison Rossiter is a leading contemporary artist with prints held by dozens of permanent collections including the Art Institute of Chicago, J. Paul Getty Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Her most recent work is a dialog with the medium’s material history, through camerless prints made on decades-old papers. Rossiter will show examples of this work describing her process and inviting discussion on how the work continues to develop and find resonance with critics, collectors, and curators. Following the discussion, seminar participants will join her in the darkroom for a demonstration of cameraless photography and to compose and process their own prints -- an ever more scarce opportunity to get into the darkroom, be it after a long absence or for the first time.
