The College for Creative Studies is proud to present the 10th Anniversary season of the Woodward Lecture Series. The second lecture of the series is Thursday October 23rd at 7:30pm with critically acclaimed photographer Andres Serrano.
More about the Artist... Andres Serrano first studied painting at the Brooklyn Museum School before turning to photography in the late 1970’s. Since that time, his work has been featured in more than one hundred solo exhibitions around the world, including a critically acclaimed retrospective that toured the US and Europe. Serrano’s interest in portraiture as a means to investigate various tensions in American Society has been an important theme and has led him to photograph subjects as diverse as Catholic clerics, members of the Ku Klux Klan, homeless men and women, corpses in the morgue, human sexuality, and in his most recent book, “America and Other Work”, a series of portraits reflecting the numerous characteristics of diversity in the US, published in 2004.
