"BREAKING RULES" - A CONVERSATION WITH WILLIS E. HARTSHORN
Monday, November 29, 6:30 p.m.
Admission: $8
The New School (scroll down for further information)
New York City
When Cornell Capa founded the first and groundbreaking Center of
Photography in New York City thirty years ago, he steered clear of the
quagmire that had divided photography into either art or journalism.
Under his stewardship, photography was defined in terms of both
paradigms and thus began to yield immense popularity and influence.
The medium has since re-positioned its dual parent institutions - the
museum and the press room - and turned popular arts like film and video
into high art while making high art popular. Today, photography sits at
the apex of all visual expression. How did it acquire its current status
and power, and where is it going?
Willis E. Hartshorn, director of the International Center of
Photography, discusses these questions. He will be interviewed by Judith
Mara Gutman, lecturer and author of "Passion Unlimited: The Story of
Dorothy Norman and Alfred Stieglitz, Mixing Art and Politics."

The Vera List Center for Art and Politics explores the role of the arts
in developing a civic culture of pluralism in the United States. In
public lectures and symposia, through research activities and
publications, and in programs associated with the University's art
collection, a wide array of visual and performance artists, scholars,
curators, and political leaders come together to investigate the
intersection of art and politics. Established in 1992 by a generous
grant from the late Vera List, a Life Trustee of New School University,
the Vera List Center embodies the legacy of The New School's historic
involvement with the avant-garde in the arts.
