In conjunction with the 2025 Filter Photo Festival, join us for a reception at the Museum of Contemporary Photography. Catch up with friends and colleagues and view the current exhibition at the MoCP, Channeling: body <-Image-> viewer.
Immediately following the reception, join us at Ferguson Lecture Hall at 7:00 PM for our Featured Evening Lecture by Diana Markosian.
Channeling: body <-Image-> viewer features works by eleven international artists who communicate through and with the body. The featured artists draw on diverse approaches and means to deliberately activate direct connections with the viewer. These communications position the viewer to experience a heightened awareness of their self and body, or to explore how bodies channel and confront societal malaise and oppression. Varied gestures—crawling, lying, climbing, kneeling, pointing, running, walking backwards—evoke memory, history, and rhetoric. These actions also call attention to the senses and physicality of skin, touch, voice, hearing, and sight.
