Lecture “Comment and perspectives on the Sir Elton John Photographs collection at PinchukArtCentre“ coming soon

On the occasion of the exhibition "An Instinctive Eye: A Selection of Contemporary Photographs from the Sir Elton John Collection" the PinchukArtCentre invites two experts on contemporary art and photography to give a lecture and comments on this Photography Collection. Special guests are Andre Rouille, a teacher, writer and curator from Paris, who has been working and making researches for many years in the field of photography and Mikhail Sidlin, a Russian art-critic, curator and teacher of photography history at the International School of Photography and Multimedia named after A. Rodchenko.

Alexander Soloviov and Evgen Solonin, both a curator and a collection manager of the PinchukArtCentre will moderate and participate in this open dialog about photography and contemporary art.

Including famous artists like Nan Goldin or Hiroshi Sugimoto to younger photographers like Angela West or Loretta Lux, the collection of Elton John explores the question of portrait, identity, American culture and our relation to our environment. Which are the main orientations of the collection? Is the collection representative of the contemporary art photography world? How could we see the selection in regard of the history of photography of the 20th century?

These topics and more will be proposed and discussed by our guest trough some esthetics, politics and historical perspectives. All artists, curators, students and visitors of PinchukArtCentre are kindly invited. The admission is free.

The lecture will take place on the July 19th at 19:00 on the 6th floor of PinchukArtCentre in the video-lounge hall.
