FREE FOR ALL. Thurs., 2/13, 6 p.m., at New Bedford Art Museum, 608 Pleasant St. Experience a live performance by Butler Flats Group as they perform songs inspired by Arctic Voices, life at sea, and the maritime trade industry. Then join us for an ArtTALK public lecture titled: 1839 to Now, Photography, Technology and the Fine Arts: The Ever-Shifting Landscape with photographer R.A. Friedman.
Using the photographs from William Bradford’s seminal 1869 monograph “The Arctic Regions” as a starting point, and bringing the discussion up to the present day with captures from the Hubble telescope, Philadelphia artist RA Friedman will discuss photography’s changing relationship between science and the humanities; its ability to document versus its aesthetic possibilities. The talk will examine how the evolution of technology has influenced both the products of visual art as well its creation. It will look at how shifts in culture and society have impacted how photography is perceived, guiding a dialogue on the future of the art form.
