March 9
Amy Blakemore

Many will be happy to know that Houston-based artist Amy Blakemore is rescheduled for this spring after her lecture was canceled due to flight complications last fall. She has been described an artist who “takes photographs in order to explore the ways in which memory both records and transforms visual information.” (Amy Blakemore: Photographs 1988-2008, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston) Blakemore, trained in the documentary tradition, is known for her small-scale photographs that suggest random snapshots while evoking something personal and poetic, something that puzzles and lingers. For Tuesday Evenings, she presents the unassuming and unforgettable photographs for which she has received much deserved recognition and critical acclaim.

Tuesday Evening Cocktails and Light Bites
Guests can enjoy refreshments from 5 to 7 pm in Café Modern before the Tuesday Evenings lecture series. Choose from Café Modern’s unique Modern cocktail menu or distinctive wine list. Coffee, tea, and light snacks are also available.
