Geoff Dyer on The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand
2019-03-20 18:30 - 20:00 | Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston, 3400 Main St, Houston, TX, 77002, United States
Houston Center for Photography is pleased present a lecture from world renowned author and critic, Geoff Dyer, on The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand. In this book, Dyer takes the viewer on a journey through the iconic photographer’s life and work by presenting a carefully curated selection of one hundred photographs from the Winogrand archive at the Center for Creative Photography. With each presented image, Dyer will speak to the themes and subjects of Winogrand’s photographs through historic anecdotes and personal interpretations. Often unorthodox, eye-opening and sometimes hilarious, Dyer will provide the audience an experience to see these groundbreaking photographs in a new light. A limited quantity of books will be available for a book-signing following the lecture.
This lecture is part of Houston Center for Photography’s ongoing series, Words & Pictures, a lecture and conversation series between photographers, writers, and thinkers of the medium.
This program was made possible in part with a grant from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities and by Poets & Writers, thanks to a grant from the Hearst Foundations.
