Matt Lipps
Jessica Silverman Gallery
NYC
April 2 6-8 PM
Artist Matt Lipps and CCA visiting scholar Charlotte Cotton discuss Lipps’ current exhibition “The Populist Camera,” during this event hosted by the Jessica Silverman Gallery. The exhibition is a requiem for analog image-making that engages with the ubiquity of photography in the digital age. Using collage strategies, sculptural tropes and theatre staging techniques, Lipp’s series of intriguing still lives combine appropriated imagery with personal photographs. The event is free and open to the public.
