Transmedia Visiting Artist Eric Gottesman to Speak

Friday, January 24, 2014, By News Staff

Transmedia visiting artist, Eric Gottesman is giving a talk on Jan 28 at 2 p.m. in Shemin Auditorium in Shaffer Art Building.

Gottesman is a photographic artist and organizer. Central to his practice is collaboration. He uses photography, writing and film as vehicles to engage others in conversation and critical thought about the social structures that surround them, and him. He works slowly, often spending a long time in a community, and exhibits work locally first, to an audience determined by the co-creators of the work.

Gottesman studied politics and economics and, later, art. In 2003, he was named one of the top 25 young American photographers. He has earned a Fulbright Fellowship in art as well as awards from the Magnum Foundation, Artadia, the Aaron Siskind Foundation, apexart, the Open Society Foundation and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
