“Photographic Truths and Other Illusions”

2011 SPE Southwest Regional Conference: November 11-13, 2011
School of Arts & Design, Santa Fe Community College
Santa Fe, New Mexico

CALL FOR PROPOSALS:

The lack of objective truth in photography appears to remain as uncontested as the intent to somehow provide it anyway. Often this is done through declared subjectivity in partially or totally constructed, manipulated or otherwise staged works. Yet, just as often, it is done by pointing the lens in a particular direction, often at great risk to the photographer, to convey what has occurred.

You are invited to submit your proposal for a presentation on how you speak truth to power or to no one in particular.

Confirmed presenters include Patrick Nagatani, Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison, Eugenia Parry, and Joel-Peter Witkin. Your Vice-Chair, Jackie Heigle and Chair, André Ruesch look forward to your submissions and welcoming you to Santa Fe in November.

Please submit your presentation proposals to santafe@spesw.org no later than May 31st, 2011.
