Reading: Annette Lawrence
October 13 - October 13,2021
From Fotofest:
"For decades, artist Annette Lawrence has maintained a daily habit of journaling; keeping notes on her experience of working in her studio and documenting thoughts that inform her art practice. For this reading, Lawrence will pull from a selection of her journal entries written between 1983–2021 that were penned on the date of this program. FotoFest invites you to join us for this exercise in revisiting the past with the artist during an in-person reading at Silver Street Studios. Following the program, guests will be invited to view the exhibition In Place of an Index which features images of Lawrence’s journals and notebooks.
This event is free and open to the public. Advance registration is required to attend. Masks will be required upon entry to the reading and Covid-19 safety protocols will be in place.
