Gallery Talk “Utopia/Dystopia: Construction and Destruction in Photography and Collage”

Thursday, Apr 12, 2012
7 p.m. - 7:45 p.m.

Beck Building
5601 Main Street Map & Directions

Explore the ways in which artists use photography to project a political, social, or cultural state of utopia or dystopia on this 45-minute gallery talk in the exhibition Utopia/Dystopia: Construction and Destruction in Photography and Collage. Ranging in date from the late 19th century to the present, these photos, photocollages, photomontages, and moving images—along with photographs of a constructed space or sculptures that incorporate a photograph—have allowed artists to experiment with social, political, and urban construction and imagination.
