John Divola- “Seven Songbirds and a Rabbit”

John Divola is speaking at LACMA tonight @7pm. Tickets are free, but required.

His current exhibition at LACMA, John Divola: As Far As I Could Get, references a series of photos Divola made by attaching his camera to a tripod, setting a timer and running straight into the frame.

The photo above is also from the show. It is part of a series taken from stereographic negatives that he accessed from the California Museum of Photography. From these negatives, he isolates certain wildlife details.

Santa Barbara Museum of Art and Pomona College Museum of Art are also participating in this exhibition.
