10th Mar 2010 6:00pm
Sallis Benney Theatre
Artist: David Spero
In conversation with David Campany, artist, writer and reader in photography at the University of Westminster.
The third in a series of three discussions by artists, writers and curators working with contemporary photography, devised by Photoworks and the University of Brighton and open to all. The current series focuses on the nature and use of objects within the representational space of the photographic image.
Since the early 1990s David Spero has worked on interconnected photography projects. In his ongoing series Ball Photographs, begun in 2001, the artist introduces coloured balls into existing and transitory locations. He has gone on to work with further arrangements using wood and audio-tape to construct delicately balanced minimal structures that create imagined connections and disrupt our perception of the depicted scene.
