Project Space 1038 SF – 2009 Baum Award Winner Sean McFarland in Conversation with Todd Lavine

2009 Baum Award winner Sean McFarland was invited to join artist Todd Lavine in conversation to discuss Lavine’s current exhibition “A Transmission, Interrupted” at project space 1038 SF.  Lavine’s exhibition examines “the conundrum that results when war is reduced to pixels.” The project traced media coverage on a key figure of the Syrian Civil War, Abdul Razzaq Tiass, and the evolution of representations of him.

Sean McFarland’s own art explores the processes of “image-making, photographic truth, and final representations.” Since the 2009 Baum Award, McFarland has also received the 2009 John Guttmann Photography Fellowship, and a 2011 Eureka Fellowship. His art is also included in the collections at the SFMOMA, Milwaukee Art Museum, Oakland Museum, Berkeley Art Museum and Whitney Museum of American Art Library. He currently lives in San Francisco and teaches at the San Francisco Art Institute.

The continued success of Sean McFarland and other Baum Awardees through The Baum Foundation’s effort is helping to support emerging artists and photographers. Learn more about the Baum Award for Emerging American Photographers, its background and other Baum Award winners.
