The public is invited to get a quick glimpse into the workings of twelve Oklahoma photographers during the upcoming Photo Slam on April 2, 2008. To be held at the Noble Theater at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, this is not your typical artist lecture.
Each of the twelve participating photographers will get five minutes to share what they do using a variety of tools – slides, digital projections, printed samples or other means. The speakers will have to be careful not go into overtime or they will get the gong! Presenting photographers are: Josh Buss, Moore; Candace Coker, Shawnee; Marty Coleman, Glenpool; Bryan Dahlvang, Tuttle; Clinton Dean, Oklahoma City; Beth Downing, Tulsa; Allison Fonder, Tulsa; Robert Gurfinkel, Yukon; Matt Jarvis, Pawhuska; Romy Owens, Oklahoma City; Don Risi, Oklahoma City; and Cynthia Wolf, Oklahoma City.
The photographers were selected from a pool of applicants by Todd Stewart, Assistant Professor of Photography and Digital Imaging at the University of Oklahoma. Stewart received his Master of Fine Arts degree from Indiana University in 2004.
