Lecture in Photography: Bob Thall
600 S. Michigan Ave. – Museum of Contemporary PhotographyAbout The Event
Please join MoCP and Columbia College Chicago School of Visual Arts for a Lecture in Photography with Bob Thall.
This talk will be hosted inside MoCP.
For several decades, Bob Thall has been known for his formally rigorous and deadpan portrayals of the urban and suburban landscape in Chicago, photographing in sharp detail a view camera. His new project looks at cities across the US and his long term commitment to black and white large format work. Thall served on the faculty at Columbia College Chicago from 1976 to 2017 and chaired the Photography Department from 1999 to 2011. His work and scholarship have played a crucial role in the museum’s history and the broader educational landscape.
