Abstract

Bruno Ceschel considers his work in contemporary photography as an educator and a publisher in relation to his interests in social structures. In this lecture, Ceschel will question how photography and publishing build communities.

Bruno Ceschel is the founder and director of Self Publish, Be Happy and a visiting lecturer at École cantonale d’art de Lausanne (ECAL). He founded Self Publish, Be Happy in 2010 and has since organized events at leading arts institutions, including Tate Modern (Britain), Kunsthal Charlottenborg (Denmark), MoMA PS1 (United States), and the National Gallery of Victoria (Australia), and published books by Lucas Blalock, Carmen Winant, Lorenzo Vitturi, and many more. Ceschel gives lectures and workshops internationally and also consults for leading companies interested in contemporary photography.
