Fånga bilden - måleri i en digital kultur
När Cecilia Edefalk på 80-talet började att öppet använda fotografi som förlaga till sitt måleri väckte det en av de största debatterna någonsin i svenskt konstliv. I dag är bilder från internet snarare en vanligare källa att hämta motiv från än verkligheten – det har uppstått ett slags ”Google-konst”. Vad betyder den skiftningen för måleriet och hur förhåller sig måleri och fotografi till varandra i vår internetkultur?
Seminariet Image Capture - Painting in a Digital Culture är ett samarbete med Kungl. Konsthögskolan. Tillsammans bjuder vi in till en diskussion om måleriets roll i vår digitala samtid.
