Art Talk Series: Rick and Lesley Chapman

  • Community Room at the SLO Public Library 995 Palm Street San Luis Obispo, CA, 93401 United States (map)

For over 30 years, Rick and Lesley Chapman have been creating art at the intersection of photography and site-specific dance installations. Their life-long collaboration is an evolving exploration of ways to capture the fleeting essence of dance in a still photograph. The resulting images transcend traditional dance documentation, offering a window into a unique dialogue between human and nature. 

On May 28, the husband and wife team will share a collection of photos from their decades of work together, offering insights into how capturing a still image can be shaped by movement—and how movement itself can be reimagined through the photographic eye. This presentation will delve into the ongoing dialogue between the dancer, the photographer and the environment, where each influences and responds to the other in a bold and fluid exchange. 

This event is FREE and open to the public!
