PANEL DISCUSSION

EXPOSED: VOYEURISM AND PHOTOGRAPHY

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 13 AT 1PM

Panel discussion with Clint Burnham, Catherine Soussloff, Shep
Steiner, Althea Thauberger

Perspectives on the invasive camera and voyeurism, ethical issues
in contemporary photography, surveillance as an aesthetic
strategy, and power relations between photographers and human
subjects.

Clint Burnham teaches in the Department of English at Simon
Fraser University. He has written recently on Ken Lum (Camera
Austria) and Brian Jungen (Grove Dictionary of Art). His book
The Only Poetry that Matters: A Reading of the Kootenay School
of Writing is being published this fall by Arsenal Pulp.

Catherine Soussloff is Professor and Head of the Department of
Art History, Visual Art and Theory at the University of British
Columbia. Her most recent book is The Subject in Art:
Portraiture and the Birth of the Modern (Duke University Press,
2006) and other recent areas of publication include performance
theory, visual culture and theories of media.

Shep Steiner co-edited "Cork Caucus: on Art, Possibility, and
Democracy" (Frankfurt, 2007). Recent publications on photography
include: "Dialectical Inroads to a Post-Political Photography:
Democratic Violence in the Work of Lidwien" (Journal of the
Philosophy of Photography, 2011); "Allergy Patch: Michael

zur Kunst, 2010); "Uber Struth," Writings on Thomas Struth
(Schirmer/Mosel, 2009); "The Responsibility of Photography,"
Scott McFarland (Vancouver Art Gallery, 2009).

Althea Thauberger is an artist based in Vancouver. Her
internationally produced and exhibited work typically involves
interactions with a group or community that result in
performances, films, videos, audio recordings and books, and
involve sometimes provocative reflections of social, political,
institutional and aesthetic power relations. Her work has been
recently presented at the 17th Biennale of Sydney; National
Gallery of Canada, Ottawa and the Overgarten Institute of
Contemporary Art in Copenhagen.

In conjunction with the exhibitions: "Larry Clark: Tulsa" and
