Artist Jess T. Dugan will be joined by writer and curator Charlotte Cotton for a conversation about their new publication, Love Pictures, published by Radius Books.

Love Pictures is the first comprehensive survey book of Dugan’s work and features more than twenty years of photographs. A collaboration between Dugan and Cotton, it is centered around a series of conversations between the two focusing on core themes that inform Dugan’s practice, including gender and identity, family and politics, writing and language, the book as object, and the dynamics of the exhibition space.

These initial dialogues then prompted subsequent conversations with others in Dugan’s and Cotton’s respective communities: friends, colleagues, mentors, and subjects of Dugan’s work—including Dawoud Bey, Kelli Connell, Dorothy Moss, and Catherine Opie, among others.
