No, the PRC is not planning a full-blown existential dilemma (well, not all of us anyway). But we are thrilled to host a lecture by the person who helped define contemporary photography during its rise to super-stardom in those quirky postmodern years. This Thursday night (Thursday, March 20, 7 p.m.) Andy Grundberg-critic, writer, curator, educator-will deliver the second presentation in the Photographic Resource Center’s Spring Lecture Series. The talk is titled “Collecting Photographs, Collecting the World” and will address the notion of collecting as a theme in contemporary photography, along with other prevalent trends in the art world. The image above (Cindy Sherman, Untitled #21, 1985) was used on the front jacket cover of Grundberg’s book Crisis of the Real.
