Gregory Harris And Geometric Dislocation | Episode 49

November 7, 2019 By brainfuzzadmin 1 Comment

Curator of photography Gregory Harris joins Joe and Matthew at a special location to talk curation, types of photography, museum culture, and the ins and outs of such institutional challenges as wall text.

Specifically, they examine social documentary and the differences among related genres. Technology shifts across decades are put into context. “Film vs Digital” is observed as a minor inflection point.

Of course, all of this requires the splitting of hairs. Gregory turns out to be a dog guy. The phrase “geometric dislocation” is introduced into the Brain Fuzz lexicon.
