Thomas Palmer and Paul Messier will discuss the printing of the photograph in photo books from the perspective of their remarkable careers in the field—pushing the boundaries of what is possible in printing books while preserving the history of the photographic medium. Thomas Palmer’s extraordinary work printing photography began with his many projects with printer and artist Richard Benson and continues to his current work making digital separations of photographs. We will hear from Thomas stories about printing as it has changed and developed throughout his career.

FRANKE LECTURES IN THE HUMANITIES

Linda Gregerson, University of Michigan
Humanities Quadrangle (HQ) 136

Want to own your research? What did you give up when you signed that publishing agreement? Is there any way around it? What happens with an open access journal? Copyright can be complicated: the Whitney Publishing Project is here to help.

Richard Deming, Senior Lecturer in English and Director of Creative Writing, will discuss his new book “This Exquisite Loneliness: What Loners, Outcasts, and the Misunderstood Can Teach Us About Creativity” with Karin Roffman, Associate Director of Public Humanities.

Opening remarks by the curator, followed by an informal reception, to celebrate the opening of a new exhibit in Hanke Exhibition Gallery, located in the nave of Sterling Memorial Library.

This exhibit celebrates a portion of the Elizabethan Club’s rare book collections, largely assembled in the early 1910s by Alexander Smith Cochran, BA 1896, a young alumnus inspired by the Shakespeare lectures he attended while a student at Yale.
