In this seminar, artist and printer Gary Schneider will join Jennifer Quick, the John R. and Barbara Robinson Family Associate Research Curator in Photography, to discuss photographs he printed for such artists as Robert Gober, John Schabel, and Peter Hujar. Schneider worked with these artists as co-owner of the lab Schneider/Erdman, Inc., founded with his partner John Erdman in 1981 and located in Manhattan’s East Village. Schneider and Quick will explore the stories behind these photographs, looking closely at the many technical and conceptual decisions involved in the making of each work.
