Mobile Art Talk: Recent Episodes
Glenn Robertson, Elizabet Elliott, and Lucy Gafford
Arts enthusiast Glenn Robertson sits down with two arts professionals, Elizabet Elliott, and Lucy Gafford, once a month to talk informally about different arts topics happening in our community or in the greater art world. The subjects are broad, and we often get lost in the very tall weeds of art history, but hopefully you'll enjoy getting lost with us.
Glenn, Lucy, and Elizabet discuss the spectrum of representational art and non-representational art, why people choose to create one or the other, and how these art forms have shaped our culture.
This month, Glenn, Lucy, and Elizabet, wander through a very abridged version of the history of photography and attempt to summarize the importance of this medium as an art form. Big questions include, "What makes a good photograph?," "How can photography retain it's value in the age of social media?," and "What is real?" We can't answer any of that, but we invite you to listen to us try.
Glenn, Elizabet, and Lucy dig into the function of each of their organizations - Mobile Museum of Art, Alabama Contemporary Art Center, and Mobile Arts Council - misconceptions, how they differ, and how they work together to build a better arts community.
