JOHN DIVOLA: THE HORIZON, AND THINGS IN THE WAY
AUGUST 15-17, 2022, BOWEN ISLAND, BC

“I am offering a three-day workshop this summer, Aug 15-17th. The location is FOTOFILMIC on Bowen Island just north of Vancouver. It looks like an exceptional location. It will be an opportunity for a small number of people to hang out together for discussion of my work, your work, the medium, art, where it has been and where it might be heading. Intimate, non-academic, discussion of art and how one might effectively integrate the practice into one’s life. I don’t have all of the answers but I have now taught the medium for over 40 years and I have been a practicing artist longer. And I have some ideas.” John Divola

In his 3-day workshop John will offer the unique opportunity to a small group of photographers and visual artists to engage first-hand with him discussing his 40+ years career as one of contemporary photography’s most iconic artists working today. Participants will also have the chance to present their own work and receive invaluable feedback from John and the group. Conversations will also consider core issues related to the medium’s increasingly hybridized nature, and examine other recent developments through influential works of late. This intimate format will also offer room for more informal conversations and individual attention in a relaxed, convivial setting. Participants should be prepared to have their work discussed from different perspectives, and be able to articulate a few key influences.

Note: This program is limited to 10 participants only.
