Artistsā?? Talk: Orit Siman-Tov and Brian Ulrich
January 13, 2005
When: 4 pm
Where: Museum of Contemporary Photography
Preceding the opening of Manufactured Self, exhibiting artists Orit Siman-Tov and Brian Ulrich will discuss their work on view. Ulrich documents the everyday activities of consumption and explores the roles we play in over-consumption and as targets of marketing and advertising. Siman-Tovā??s images of people exercising at a spa, lounging around a pool, or skiing on manmade snow reflect how everything, including personal experience, has become a commodity.
