Anderman Photography Lecture with Adam Jeppesen
Anderman Photography Lectures Series | Adam Jeppesen
Thursday, June 28, 2018
7:00–8:30 pm
Adam Jeppesen was born in Denmark but is based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His work is inspired by travel, the landscape, solitude and the experience of making and looking at a photograph. Jeppesen is included inNew Territory: Landscape Photography Today on view June 24, 2018 through September 16, 2018. The examples of his work in this show were born out of a 487 day solo trek from the North Pole through the Americas to the South Pole in Antarctica. Jeppesen’s body of work provokes questions like: How can an image of a place evoke the experience of that place? What role does photography play in our memory? Our perception of reality? Join us for this rare opportunity to hear Jeppesen speak about his thoughtful approach to photography.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Lecture tickets are $5 for students, DAM members and CPAC members, $12 for general admission.
The Anderman Photography Lecture Series presents talks by the preeminent creators and thinkers in photography today. Sponsored by the DAM Photography Department. Series funding is generously provided by Evan and Elizabeth Anderman.

7:00–8:30 pm
Sharon Harper’s photography explores the relationship between technology and perception through landscape imagery. Her work is in the collection of major art institutions and she is currently a Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University. Several examples of Sharon Harper’s photographs are included in New Territory: Landscape Photography Today, on view June 24, 2018 through September 16, 2018. The landscape as well the view of the day and night sky from the world below are significant to her work. The celestial landscape, the moon and stars in particular, figure prominently. Through multiple exposures and extended exposure times Harper is able to capture various phases of the moon in one image or the trail of a star over several minutes. Photographs like these begin to reveal the role photography can play in our relationship with the landscape. They consider how the camera can act as an extension of the human eye capturing what we are not able to see on our own and explore ways to depict the abstract concept of time in a singular static image.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Lecture tickets are $5 for students, DAM members and CPAC members, $12 for general admission.

New Territory: Landscape Photography Today presents over 100 photographs by 40 contemporary photographers who take landscape as their subject. From the spectacular to the seemingly mundane, and from celebratory to critical, these artists surprise us with their often highly experimental approach to the medium. Their work reflects their perceptions of how we live in the world today, and how the choices we make now will shape the landscapes of the future. The traditional idea of landscape photography calls to mind mountains, meadows and coastlines. Today, “landscape” photography has grown to encompass scenes that show conflicts between cultures, or between nature and civilization, as well as inspiring views of wilderness. New Territory showcases artworks that look at these features and conflicts in new ways, and that challenge viewers to contemplate our complex relationship with the landscape.
New Territory: Landscape Photography Today is organized by the Denver Art Museum. It is generously funded by the Adolph Coors Exhibition Endowment Fund, donors to the Annual Fund Leadership Campaign, and the citizens who support the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). Promotional support is provided by 5280 Magazine, CBS4, Comcast Spotlight, and The Denver Post.
