In this online class with artist Adam Fuss, participants will have the unique opportunity to have their work reviewed in a group setting, allowing for an intimate and engaging discussion about practice and process. Students should submit an in-progress project that they feel would benefit from Adam’s feedback. Any creative photographic project will be considered. In six class sessions, students will give and receive constructive critiques and suggestions about their projects.
Adam Fuss was born in London in 1961 and grew up in rural England, where he first began to document the natural environment through photography. This led to an experimentation with unconventional photographic processes and his eventual abandonment of the camera altogether. Fuss’s work is distinctive for its contemporary reinterpretation of photography’s earliest techniques, particularly the camera-less methods of the daguerreotype and photogram. Fuss believes that in order for any photographic technique to work, it should be personalized and transfigured into a greater metaphor, engaging processes that take place in the natural world.
Fuss has lived and worked in New York City since 1982. Widely shown, his work is represented in many American and international collections, including: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
