About The Event

Join us for a talk by Benjamin Levy, guest curator and PhD candidate in art history at Case Western University, on the exhibition Photographs in Ink.

Since the invention of the medium, the majority of published photographs have been printed through photomechanical processes—images made in printer’s ink rather than produced in the darkroom or digitally. Photographs in Ink explores how artists have responded to the abundance of published photographic images that have saturated our daily lives from the 1850s through the early 2000s.

Following the talk, the curator will be in the galleries for questions.

This talk is for members of Column & Stripe and Friends of Photography. Members of these groups have recieved a digital invitation.
