UPCOMING COMMUNITY

Pratt PPI Issues #4 and #5 Launch

JOIN US at BAXTER ST on Saturday, December 6th for the launch of ‘PPI Issue #4: Material Acknowledgment: A Case Study in Environmental⁠ Learning’ and ‘PPI Issue #5: Input, Use, Stock, and Output’ presented by Pratt Institute’s Photography Department⁠ and Dancing Foxes Press in partnership with Light Work,⁠ Syracuse, NY and BAXTER ST at the Camera Club of New York.⁠

The event will take place from 2 PM – 5 PM with presentations at 3 PM by Jamie Kruse (Parsons, The New School, PT Assistant Professor, Sustainable Systems), John O’Toole (Pratt Institute, Technical Director of Photography), and Jennifer Williams, (Cooper Union, Head Technician in Photography and Adjunct Faculty).

Materials originate in the land and inevitably return to it; the word landscape speaks to many things, the landscapes of social, cultural, ecological, political, and poetic conditions among them.

PPI is a series published by Dancing Foxes Press and Pratt Institute through the Pratt Photography Imprint (PPI). In an age defined by the immaterial transmission and circulation of images, the Pounds Per Image (PPI) series makes research, scholarship, and practice the centerpiece of its gravity-bound mission. By commissioning artists, writers, curators, and other voices in the polyvocal field to produce
original material about photography, PPI endeavors to make contributions to the discursive field beyond the walls of Pratt Institute.
