Leslie Hewitt "Fine Arts Lecture Series"
The Sheila C. Johnson Design Center at Parsons The New School for Design
This event has ended.
Leslie Hewitt uses photography, sculpture and film to challenge the representation and organization of social meaning. Hewitt uses the camera as a tool to reposition ones view, subtly disrupting the window effect and expectations of a photographic document. She engages architectural space and the fragmentation of time through photographic and sculptural means. In exploring the “revolution embedded” in photography and film, her work addresses how cultural material is documented, classified and preserved.Hewitt was included in the 2008 Whitney Biennial. Recent and forthcoming exhibitions also include The High Museum, Atlanta, GA; Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; The Contemporary Art Museum Houston, Houston, TX; Artists Space, New York; Sculpture Center, New York; Project Row Houses, Houston, TX; The Wadsworth Athenaeum, Hartford, CT, LAXART, Los Angeles, CA, D’Amelio Terras, New York; Arndt & Partner, Zurich, Switzerland and Thomas Dane, London, United Kingdom.
