Tomorrow: Tommy Kha in conversation with Ka-Man Tse at the New School
In celebration of his first monograph publication "Half, Full Quarter" (2023) with Aperture, Kha will be in conversation with Ka-Man Tse, artist and Parsons BFA Photography director.
Hi all,
I’ve come down with COVID last couple days so won’t be able to make this but I’ve heard from Ka-Man that Aperture will be recording the conversation which is great news for those who can’t make in-person attendance. I met Ka-Man a little over two years ago when I was organizing lectures for Bard College’s Student Run Darkroom. Ka-Man graduated from Bard’s Photography program in 2003 and was extremely generous in speaking with us carefully walking us through every page of her book narrow distances (2018) published by Candor Arts. Her passion for photography was so abundantly clear in the many, many contemporary artists she gave as suggestions for us students to look into. She is currently the director of Parsons’s BFA Photography program.
I’m deeply upset I’ll be missing what will certainly be an intentional and rich dialogue between the two artists. The event is free and open to the public.
