Tuesday Night Lecture Series: Justine Kurland

As part of the Tuesday Night Lecture Series (TNLS) BU College of Fine Arts School of Visual Arts presents a lecture with artist Justine Kurland, organized by MFA Painting & MFA Print Media & Photography. Justine Kurland is an artist known for her utopian photographs of American landscapes and the fringe communities, both real and imagined, that inhabit them. Her early work comprises photographs, taken during many cross-country road trips, that counter the masculinist mythology of the American landscape, offering a radical female imaginary in its place. Her recent series of collages, SCUMB Manifesto, continues to make space for women by transforming books by canonized male photographers into a new feminist form.Kurland’s work has been exhibited at museums and galleries in the United States and abroad. Her work is included in permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Carnegie Museum, Pennsylvania; Getty Museum, California; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Montreal, among others.TNLS visiting artists are organized by SVA’s five MFA programs in Painting, Sculpture, Print Media & Photography, Graphic Design, and Visual Narrative. TNLS brings practicing artists, designers, and arts professionals to Boston University to present their work and meet with students for individual and group critiques and hands-on workshops. Lectures are free and open to the public.
