FILTER PHOTO CRITIQUE GROUP
with Kat Shannon
We chatted with Kat about the value of critique groups and what participants can hope to gain. Click here to read some of her thoughtful insights!
Join Kat Shannon for an online critique group that will focus on project and portfolio development.
This will be a great opportunity to focus on a particular body of work and receive critical feedback in a supportive environment. The group will meet once a month for three months to share work and discuss project development, as well as best practices for preparing work for exhibition and professional portfolio reviews. Conversation will be tailored to the group’s interests and needs for advancing their projects and artistic production, and moving a project forward to completion.
This critique group is ideal for emerging photographers, recent graduates, new practitioners, and/or those making a shift from commercial to fine art work. The focus will be on developing a critical dialog and establishing good self-evaluation skills in addition to editing and sequencing a series of photographs.
Participants should plan to focus on a single body of work for the duration of the sessions and should be prepared to screen share their work during each session.
Filter Photo will alternate between in-person and online critique groups. Check back with us in the fall for an in-person version of this critique group.
Kat Shannon is an artist and educator working across photography, text, and video. Driven by the desire to continually examine the complex role photography plays in our lives, culture, and collective memory, her work uses the image as a tool to explore notions of intimacy, connection, and community. She holds degrees in photography from Savannah College of Art and Design (BFA) and Bard College (MFA) and is currently based between São Paulo, Brazil, and Orlando, Florida.
Shannon has held teaching positions at Yeshiva University, Brookdale College, Stetson University, Middlesex College, and others, and has previously worked as the Head Curator at an Art Consultancy in New York. In 2017 Kat co-founded the collaborative artist collective Memory Foam through which she curates exhibitions, publishes and collects artists' books and zines, and produces an artist interview series called "Artists Eat Ice Cream."
