Photographer Ron Jude will discuss the dubious empirical and storytelling assumptions we make about photographic images, his sleight-of-hand influence on these expectations, and how this strategy employs narrative as an artificial container for an
engagement with the poetics of experience. Jude’s artist lecture, “Those Are Not Mountains You See,” coincides with his exhibition “Lago,” a series of color photographs in which Jude seeks to reconcile the vagaries of memory with a human need to create a
narrative based on lived experience. “Lago” is open August 12 through December 31 at Sheldon Museum of Art. Sheldon Museum of Art is the primary sponsor of Ron Jude’s visit to UNL. Supported in part by the Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist & Scholar Lecture Series.
