    The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston presents a MFAH FotoFest 2012 Artist Talk: Catherine Wagner on Photographs and Public Projects, Thursday, Mar 29, 2012, 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM. FREE.

    Catherine Wagner is an artist who works with elements of contemporary society and transforms them into conceptual images that investigate culture. For more than 30 years she has been a keen observer of the built environment, examining institutions of learning and knowledge such as art museums and science labs, as well as the ways in which cultural identity is constructed.

    Wagner’s artistic process involves the investigation of what art critic David Bonetti calls "the systems people create, our love of order, our ambition to shape the world, the value we place on knowledge, and the tokens we display to express ourselves." Join Wagner this evening as she talks about photographs and public projects.

    This event is open to the public. Admission is free. A reception to meet the artist follows the talk.

    Cosponsored by Houston Center for Photography and MFAH Photo Forum. Presented as part of the FotoFest 2012 Biennial.
