About
Statement
With the ubiquity of computers and smartphones, the majority of photographic images are being recorded digitally rather than on film. Because memories are so intertwined with photographs, this change in the production and dissemination is altering society’s relationship to memory.

Jason Lazarus
Thu, Nov 17, 2016 from 6:00 – 8:00pm UTC
Working with photography as an expanded field, Jason Lazarus will trace multiple projects that rely on found images and text, including his installation T.H.T.K. (Rochester), on view in A Matter of Memory: Photography as Object in the Digital Age. Since 2010, Lazarus has been collecting photographs from the public that are deemed too hard to keep and too painful to destroy. Other objects that appear in the T.H.T.K. archive include undeveloped rolls of film, photo albums, slides, photos printed on objects, and more. Visitors are encouraged to donate any photographic ephemera they wish to the collection, which may appear in future installations.
Exhibitions open until 8 p.m.
