Thursday June 24th, at 5:30pm
at The PROJECT SPACE in REVOLVE
Join us for our first event back at REVOLVE!
We are thrilled to welcome two dynamic photographers in conversation to celebrate the publication of Pavlović's book, "Stagecraft". This event takes place at REVOLVE from 5:30pm to 6:45pm, and then we will decamp to our friends at Bagatelle Books in WAVL for a book signing and reception with live music, starting at 7:00pm.
"Stagecraft" features four extensive bodies of the photographer's work, spanning from the early 2000s to today—photographs of the Yugoslav socialist modernist hotel spaces from her internationally recognized series "Hotels"; photographs of the ceremonial space of the Yugoslav Presidential Palace in Belgrade from the series "Collection/Kolekcija" and the recent "Fabrics of Socialism" and "Sites of Memory" series exploring the archives of the Museum of Yugoslav History.
The book includes critical essays that contextualize and expound on Pavlović's unique treatment of the photographic medium, in which a photographic moment is expanded to include the conditions of image making, production, documentation, and representation.
