Photography Changes Everything Panel at ARTBOOK @ Paper Chase

On June 28, ARTBOOK @ Paper Chase, Aperture and Arcana Books on the Arts launched Marvin Heiferman's new book of stories, ideas and essays exploring how photography has shaped and changed every aspect of our collective experiences and the world around us. The event included a panel organized by Heiferman featuring fellow Photography Changes Everything contributors Lois W. Banner and Leo Braudy, along with photography curator Charlotte Cotton. Together they gave an engaging and timely talk that confirmed photography's role as a catalyst—it aggressively moves us forward and changes everything—from science to cinema, and from art to human nature.
A book signing and reception followed the presentation.

The crowd—which included LACMA head photography curator, Britt Salvesen; Getty photography curator, Virginia Heckert; and MOCA Director, Jeffrey Deitch—was standing room only.
