The Impossibility of Neutrality: Photography after the Document

What is photographic documentation today? Is its meaning ever 'neutral?' How is it read and what might be its potential applications? This one-day conference explores emerging aspects of the document, its distribution and its status in related media, and questions the supposed natural link between photography, neutrality and the author. Speakers include: Howard Caygill (Goldsmiths College), Elizabeth Edwards (London College of Communication), Carol Mavor (University of Manchester), Gary Nickard (State University of New York at Buffalo), Amy Rosenblum-Martin (Independent Curator from New York), Ralph Rugoff (Director, Hayward Gallery) and Val Williams (Photography and the Archive Research Centre).

Tickets £30/£20 concession and Gallery Supporters

Organised in collaboration with the Photography and the Archive Research Centre at the London College of Communication
