Fine Art and Architecture Research Seminar

Fine Art and Architecture Research Seminar

Thursday 7 December
Seminar Room next to the Cragg Lecture Theatre, Canterbury
12.30 -2pm

Ingrid Pollard

Ingrid Pollard’s practice explores concepts of identity through genres of documentary, landscape and portraiture. She focuses on the narratives of those relegated to the ‘margins’ and excluded from constructions of ‘the centre’. Pollard’s work ultilises popular culture – postcards, photo albums and film. She uses quasi-scientific forms of enquiry including mapping, geology and anthropology and questions the part that photography has played in the truths these systems of representation have created.

Pollard’s recent work uses a range of lens-based media in exploring these issues through working with particular geographical landscapes and social sites. The work has been shown as mixed sculptural and photographic installations.

All staff and postgraduate students welcome.
