San Francisco Opera, Dream of the Red Chamber

From your colleague Mary Ann Wark, “Not sure whether this might be useful to others, but I thought it was quite interesting.  My friend Rick Hauser did a website to accompany the San Francisco Opera Dream of the Red Chamber.  He used objects from Mia’s collection to explain some of the ideas of the Chinese garden.”

Essays on photography, at the Met:

Daguerre and the invention of photography

Besides the usual excellent essays on photography and its practitioners, I found a link to a Met Museum exhibition that explores some of the issues we discussed in the lecture:

Faking It: Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop

There was also a series of presentations at a symposium related to the above exhibition. Videos of these presentations are available; if you scroll down the screen past the one in the link below, you’ll see other video content:

I also happened to find an excerpt of some of Martha Rosler’s work:

Also, this PBS story: The Story of the Migrant Mother
