February 06:
Anderman Photography Lecture with John Chiara
Anderman Photography Lectures Series | John Chiara
Wednesday, February 06, 2019
7:00–8:30 pm
San Francisco-based photographer John Chiara describes his work as “part photography, part sculpture and part event.” He uses a custom-built large format camera, which fits on a flatbed trailer, to make large-scale unique color photographs of the landscape and built environment. Chiara responds to the quality of the light in each chosen location and using composition and color creates images that represent the spirit of the place depicted while also allowing traces of the photographic process to remain visible in the final photograph.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.Image credit: John Chiara, 6th Avenue at West 20th Street, 2018. Unique negative chromogenic photograph, 50 x 40 inches.

Come see this photograph and several others on view throughout this cross-departmental exhibition. Explore how animals have captivated artists throughout history in Stampede: Animals in Art. This exhibition brings together more than 300 objects from across the Denver Art Museum’s diverse collections to explore the presence of animals in art throughout centuries and across cultures. Stampede creates an opportunity for visitors to discover and consider the role animals play through themes such as personal connections with animals, how animal materials have been used in art, how animals are used to tell stories or represent political ideas, and how artists use animals in imaginative ways.
