RACHEL COX: SHINY GHOST
ARTIST TALK & BOOK SIGNING
Wednesday, April 12, 5:30 PM
In this lecture, photographer and UNM Alumna, Rachel Cox will discuss her 2016 Monograph Shiny Ghost, through which she documented the final years of her grandmother’s life as she was suffering from a degenerative brain disease. The images in this body of work are an extended portrait study through which moments of conversation, gesture and experiences of death were photographed.
In 2016 Cox’s project Shiny Ghost was awarded 1st place by Lensculture Magazine for their International Portraiture competition. Additionally, her work was nominated for the Paul Huf FOAM award by the Foam Fotografiemuseum in Amsterdam, an international photography prize for artists under 35. In 2015 Cox was selected as a participating artist in reGeneration 3: New Perspectives in Photography, an international survey of contemporary photography curated from a group of 50 artists with only three coming from the United States. Her work has recently been published in Vice Magazine, The Guardian, The Huffington Post, and The British Journal of Photography.
Rachel Cox will be selling and signing copies of the Monograph after the lecture.
This lecture is organized by UNM Photography and generously supported by UNM Department of Art & Art History and the David & Silvia Gale Memorial Lecture Series Fund.
