artist lecture Laurel Nakadate #3

The Department of Photography and Film presents artist Laurel Nakadate, a photographer, video artist and performance artist whose work addresses voyeurism, loneliness, the manipulative power of the camera, and the urge to connect with others. 
Nakadate has had nine solo exhibitions and participated in group shows at numerous galleries and museums throughout the world, including the Museo Nacional Reina Sofía in Madrid; the Berkeley Art Museum, California; P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, Long Island City; the Getty Center, Los Angeles; the Asia Society, New York; and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; among other institutions.

Her lecture is on Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at 4:00 – 6:00pm at Sonia Vlahcevic Concert Hall, Singleton Center .



What a fantastic lecture. I admire her and her work so much. I think her work is so bold and confrontational in a subtle and passive way. 


Questions for her:

I am a little confused by her website, i wonder where I can find her films? Her images are confusing if they are still or from a moving media.
She didn't really address where to locate and view her films.

I wish I could read more about her work, The information she offers in the title is interesting to me, I find that titles usually don't aid but in this case with very little other information given I find myself hanging on to the titles more? is this limit of information on your website intentional? 
The artist lecture was very informational and helped me understand the logic and function behind most of her work.
