IN CONVERSATION /
In Conversation with Liz Nielsen at Olympic Studios
Join us for a captivating evening as Kathlene Fox-Davies - art-historian, curator and founder of London-based gallery, Black Box Projects - sits down in conversation with internationally renowned artist Liz Nielsen, whose innovative work is redefining the boundaries of contemporary photography.
Liz Nielsen’s practice is a contemporary application of one of the best-known avant-garde photographic processes — the photogram — first mastered by Man Ray and László Moholy-Nagy in the early twentieth century. Working without a camera, each of Nielsen’s unique images are created in her studio using handmade negatives and ‘found’ light sources. She describes her process as “painting with light”, referencing the performative nature of its creation and the deep interaction between light, colour, and form.
This intimate conversation will explore the artist’s creative process, experimental techniques, and evolving photo-based practice, alongside a virtual tour of her New York studio. Liz will also discuss upcoming exhibitions, public commissions, and her new monograph, featuring original texts by Martin Barnes (V&A) and Sarah Allen (South London Gallery).
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to engage with one of the most exciting and original voices in contemporary art today.
