Listen to this fascinating lecture by Dr. Ian Geraghty that was delivered this morning at The Framing Show. The lecture was highly recommended by everyone who attended.
Description:
“Taking the form of a (loose) literature review, this presentation structures itself around quotes and images taken from a selection of publications that have philosophically pondered the function of the picture frame. The talk focuses on why we frame things and the varying ways that picture frames interact with framed artworks (as well as their own surroundings). It explains some lesser-known framing terms such as the ‘intra-compositional frame’ (Pearson) and the ‘parergon’ (Derrida), and will also look at how artists have used frames to negotiate physical and conceptual space for their artworks. Going beyond technical and historical perspectives, this presentation is guaranteed to push the way we think about framing to a new level.”
