Please Join us this Sunday for the beginning of what promises to be a series of very interesting talks. Having last June the opportunity to work with Jackie Battenfield for her Artist’s Guide Q&A Session, we thought we might just give it a shot and start having more frequent talks; Coffee-Talks.
To start this special series we will be presenting the work of S. Billie Mandle;
“For the past three years S. Billie Mandle has photographed the interiors of confessionals, the small rooms found in Catholic churches where people confess their sins. This past year she photographed in Sunset Park, Brooklyn a neighborhood that is home to some of the most unusual churches in all of New York. On Sunday she will talk about the history of these churches, the history of confession and how photographing in a confessional is rather similar to confessing in one.
This project was sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, and the New York State Council on the Arts, administered by the Brooklyn Arts Council, Inc. (BAC)”
