Contemporary Photography : Lydia Yee April 23, 2008

Previously senior curator at The Bronx Museum of the Arts, New York, Lydia Yee is currently a curator at the Barbican Art Gallery, London. Yee will discuss her recent project, the Martian Museum of Terrestrial Art, on show at the Barbican until 18 May. Bringing together a large number of contemporary art objects under the fictional rubric of a museum conceived by and designed for extraterrestrials, the show offers an irreverent and thought-provoking take on the way we seek to engage with and understand contemporary art.

This talk is part of the Contemporary Photography Professional Practice and Contexts Spring 2008 series of talks organised by Photoworks and the MA Photography course at the University of Brighton.

All talks are held at the Friends Meeting House, Ship Street, Brighton between 6.30-7.30pm.
