In conjunction with the exhibition, The Artists Who Came in from the Cold at Kunzarchive & Projects in Lugano, opening May 23rd 6pm, with the support of YET magazine, the photographer Allen Frame will offer a three-night intensive workshop in photography for intermediate to advanced students.
This brief, intensive course will help students find or deepen a subject in photography that can be developed with depth and complexity into a consistent and extended body of work.
Exercises with memory will uncover interests, preoccupations, and connections to current circumstances that may help identify a worthy direction. Emphasis will be placed on choosing the right subject or material, then analysing that choice for its relevance and meaning. Any subject will be welcome as long as the photographer can be convincingly engaged with it.
References will be made to contemporary photography, as well as to examples from the history of photography, art, and film.
This short workshop will focus on the ideas for a project, not the production itself, which would take much more time to unfold.
