December 12, 2014, 9:00 a.m.-6:30 p.m. — Reconsidering the Object: Researching Interwar Photography in the Digital Age

Photography’s digital revolution represents the largest technological break in its history. As a result, artists, scholars, and curators are engaging in medium-based conversations with the practice and history of photography differently. A focus on materials and processes inflects the digitization of collections and archives, and these digital resources have offered fresh perspectives on historical material. Expanding scholarship in the field of photographic paper conservation and contemporary photographers’ increasing experimentation with traditional chemical processes are among the resulting trends. We invite photography curators, conservators, artists, and historians to consider how the digital revolution in photography is changing approaches to the medium’s history.
