About this Event
Join Carl Fuldner and Rebecca Zorach for a program exploring glass lantern slides and the materiality of image archives. In their brief talks, Carl and Rebecca will offer personal reflections on how working with glass lantern slides has impacted generations of knowledge and what is lost or gained as reproductive photographic technology developed throughout the twentieth century and into the digital age. The program will offer a chance to see glass lantern slides, formerly part of the Department of Art History Slide Library and now part of the Joel Snyder Materials Collection.
Presented in partnership with the Visual Resources Center, University of Chicago Department of Art History.
Free, no registration required.
