For our second installation of the 2017 Photographers\u2019 Lecture Series, we welcome acclaimed photographer Cig Harvey, maker of odd, off-kilter images from which one can\u2019t look away. She will speak in the Dodge Room of Reed Campus Center on Feb. 16 at 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Harvey\u2019s photographs and artist books have been widely exhibited and remain in the permanent collections of major museums and collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas; the Farnsworth Art Museum, Rockland, Maine; and the International Museum of Photography and Film at the George Eastman House, Rochester, New York. Harvey began working in a darkroom at 13 and has been dedicated to photography ever since. She grew up in the deep valleys of Devon in the UK, and came to the States for her MFA in 1999, after years spent living in Barcelona and Bermuda.<\/p>\n

Her first monograph,\u00a0You Look At Me Like An Emergency<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>(Schilt Publishing, 2012,)\u00a0<\/em>is a collection of 10 years of pictures and written vignettes. It sold out in all printings and was named one of PDN\u02bcs Best Books of the Year 2012. Harvey had her first solo museum show at the Stenersen Museum in Oslo, Norway, in conjunction with the release. The book was well reviewed in a number of publications, including The Independent<\/em>, Aesthetica<\/em>, the Boston Globe<\/em>, Blink<\/em>, PDN<\/em>, and Pro Photographer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Harvey\u2019s second monograph,\u00a0Gardening at Night<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>(Schlit Publishing, 2015,) was published in conjunction with solo shows at Robert Mann Gallery, New York; Robert Klein Gallery, Boston; and Paul Kopeiken Gallery, Los Angeles. The book received critical acclaim with features and reviews in Vogue<\/em>, The Telegraph<\/em>, the International Wall Street Journal<\/em>, the International New York Times<\/em>, and Aesthetica<\/em>, among others.<\/p>\n

The International Wall Street Journal <\/em>said of the series, \u201cThough the subjects and setting are familiar to us, we cannot help but feel that Cig Harvey has led us through the looking glass to a world of wonder. In the way that twilight is not quite day and not quite night, the photographs of Gardening at Night <\/em>are stories not yet fully developed, while still capturing the unexpected yet oddly harmonious moments that surround us daily.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harvey\u2019s work has been displayed at Paris Photo, Art Miami, and AIPAD every year since 2006. She has been a nominee for John Gutmann fellowship and the Santa Fe Prize, and a finalist for the BMW Prize at Paris Photo and for the Prix Virginia, an international photography prize for women.<\/p>\n

Her devotion to visual storytelling has lead to innovative international campaigns and features with New York Magazine<\/em>, Harper’s Bazaar Japan<\/em>, Kate Spade, and Bloomingdale\u2019s. Harvey\u00a0teaches workshops and regularly speaks on her work and processes at institutions around the world. She is known for her high energy, sense of humor, and creativity. She brings a profound sense of optimism to all that she does.<\/p>\n

Ed Hing ’77, Williston photography teacher and organizer of the series, said he asked her to speak here because of her creativity and enthusiasm about image-making. “Her work is sensitive and mysterious,” he said. “I always want to know more about the image after I’ve looked at one.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
