About The Event
Barbara Tannenbaum, curator of photography, will moderate a panel discussion on the Gund Foundation Photography Commission.
Every year since 1990, the George Gund Foundation has worked with Cleveland design firm Nesnadny + Schwartz to create an opportunity that provides a photographer the creative freedom to interpret a theme set forth by the foundation that addresses their philanthropy within the Cleveland community. What has emerged is a project unique in the photo world, both in its longevity and purpose. The foundation has generously donated a selection from each year’s photographs to the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Discussants are Tony Richardson, president, the George Gund Foundation; Bettina Katz, president, Nesnadny + Schwartz; and artist Carmen Winant, this year’s recipient of the commission.
This event is for members of Contemporary Art Society, Column & Stripe, and Friends of Photography.
