With her exhibition Frames per Second (Silent) as a focus, Liz Deschenes will be in conversation with Eastman Museum curator Phil Taylor. The discussion will include the development of the exhibition, the threads of Deschenes' practice that it brings together, and how the artist conceives of her ongoing investigations of the histories of photography and film.
Over a professional life spanning seven decades, Edward Steichen (1879–1973) established himself as one of the most important figures in the history of photography. What is less known is that for much of that time, Steichen devoted himself to the nurturing of plants and gardens, an activity that sustained him and through which he developed ardently held beliefs regarding the relationship of art, nature, and creativity.
