THE CREATIVE PROCESS with MONA KUHN

Tuesday, May 8th. 3:00pm – 4:45pm

This seminar was adapted from a talk recently given by Mona Kuhn for the U.S. Embassy Cultural Affairs Outreach Program.

The presentation focuses primarily on the creative process. It shows a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes, the studio weekly workload, the editing process over 5 different series and later the work relationship with book publisher, coordinating national & international exhibitions with galleries and museums and aspects of self-promotion from art fairs to social media channels.

Mona’s goal with this presentation is to encourage photographers to pursue and fulfill their fine art creative careers.

PRICE: $45

BIOGRAPHY
Mona Kuhn is best known for her large-scale, dream-like photographs of the human form. Her work often reference classical themes with a light and insightful touch. Kuhn’s approach to her photography is unusual in that she usually develops close relationships with her subjects, resulting in images of remarkable naturalness and intimacy, and creating the effect of people naked but comfortable in their own skin.

Kuhn was born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1969, of German descent. She received her BA from The Ohio State University, before furthering her studies at the San Francisco Art Institute in 1996. She is currently an independent scholar at The Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles.

Kuhn’s first monograph, Photographs, was published by Steidl in 2004 followed by Evidence (2007),Native (2010), Bordeaux Series (2011) and Private, all published by Steidl.
Mona Kuhn’s work has been exhibited and/or included in the collections of The J.Paul Getty Museum, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Pérez Art Museum in Miami, The Museum of Photographic Art in San Diego, The George Eastman House, the Griffin Museum in Boston, Miami Museum of Art, the Cincinnati Art Museum, North Carolina Museum of Art, Georgia Museum of Art, The International Center of Photography in NYC. In Europe, her work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art in London England, Le Louvre in France, Deichtorhallen in Hamburg Germany, Musée de l’Élysée in Switzerland, Centre d’art Contemporain at Musée Charleroi in France, the Leopold Museum in Vienna Austria, and the Australian Center for Photography in Sydney.
