The Photography Program in the Department of Art &
Design is excited to bring McNair Evans to ETSU next Friday, February 16 for
studio visits with graduate students and a public lecture at 6pm in the Ball
Hall Auditorium. McNair grew up in the
farming town of Laurinburg, NC less than 300 miles from Johnson City, TN, where
he returned in 2010 to retrace his father’s life and legacy for his first
monograph CONFESSIONS FOR A SON. He recently exhibited photographs at SF
Camerawork with ETSU Professor Emeritus Mike Smith in a group exhibition
exploring paths of mentorship and artistic collaboration. He is a 2016 Guggenheim Fellow currently
living in San Francisco whose ongoing work examines themes of shared
experiences and identity. Thank you to
Tracey Morgan Gallery for generously sponsoring McNair’s talk and the
DoubleTree Hotel for hosting his visit.
All are welcome and encouraged to join us for his lecture next
week.
