Presentation
Photorealism began in the late 1960s as a reaction to abstract art movements. It aimed to reclaim the value of imagery in art by using photographs and mechanical means to precisely replicate scenes and objects in paintings. Key photorealists discussed include Richard Estes, Chuck Close, Ralph Goings, and Duane Hanson. Their works captured frozen moments in time through highly detailed renditions of cityscapes, portraits, and everyday objects. While influenced by pop art, photorealism sought to elevate photographic images through technical mastery rather than critique popular culture.
PhotoRealism
PhotoRealism is a style of painting using photographs to create hyperrealistic images. Artists precisely replicate the details of a photograph using tools like cameras, projectors, and airbrushes. Popular in the 1960s-70s, PhotoRealist works depicted mundane urban environments and focused on technique over expression. Pioneering artists included Richard Estes, Ralph Goings, Chuck Close, and Duane Hanson, who created photo-realistic sculptures. While initially controversial, PhotoRealism influenced later hyperrealistic styles and can still be seen in video games and movies today.

Minimalism project
Minimalism began in 1960s New York and was influenced by traditional Japanese design and a reaction to abstract expressionism. It is defined by simplicity, no meaning, unity, realism, and geometric shapes/patterns. Frank Stella, Donald Judd, and Sol Lewitt were influential minimalist artists known for using industrial materials and repetitive geometric forms to focus on shape, line, color, and texture. Their work included paintings, sculptures, boxes, and wall drawings made of materials like wood and metal. Minimalism also influenced music, architecture, design, and lifestyles that emphasized simplicity and owning only necessary possessions. The movement was controversial as it challenged definitions of art.
Sociologist Erving Goffman
Erving Goffman was a prominent Canadian-American sociologist born in 1922 in Alberta, Canada. He studied chemistry and sociology at the University of Manitoba and University of Toronto, collecting data for his doctoral dissertation on the Scottish island of Unst from 1949-1951. In 1958, he began teaching at the University of California, Berkeley where he published his influential books The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life in 1959 and Asylum in 1961. Goffman resigned from Berkeley in 1968 and took a position at the University of Pennsylvania, publishing Frame Analysis in 1974. Considered one of the most influential sociologists of the 20th century, Goffman examined how people manage impressions and adopt roles in social situations
Genesis exhibition
Sebastiao Salgado's Genesis photography exhibition documents untouched areas of the Earth. The exhibition has toured the world to raise awareness about the fragility of nature and humanity's impact. Salgado discovered his passion and calling for photography early on when he realized he could freeze and capture moments in time. For his Genesis project, Salgado spent over 7 years traveling to remote locations to photograph landscapes, wildlife, and indigenous peoples before they are transformed by modern civilization, seeing the project as a love letter to the planet.
