DESCRIPTION:The MassArt Graduate Programs and Photography department are pl
 eased to welcome Visiting Artist\, Jess T. Dugan and Visiting Curator\, Ch

 n\n \n\nJess T. Dugan is an artist whose work explores identity and the co
 mplexities of the human condition. While their practice is centered around
  photography\, it also includes writing\, video\, sound\, drawing\, and in
 stallation. Their work is regularly exhibited internationally and is in th
 e permanent collections of over seventy museums.\n\nCharlotte Cotton is a 
 curator and writer who explores photography and visual culture. She is the
  author of key books that chart photographic practices in this century\, i
 ncluding Photography is Magic (2015) and The Photograph as Contemporary Ar
 t (2004).\n\n \n\nThis will be a discussion between photographer Jess T. D
 ugan and writer Charlotte Cotton in regards to their Love Pictures collabo
 ration\, published by Radius Books in 2026.\n\nLove Pictures is centered a
 round a series of conversations between the two focusing on core themes th
 at inform Dugan’s practice\, including gender and identity\, family and 
 politics\, writing and language\, the book as object\, and the dynamics of
  the exhibition space.\n\nThese initial dialogues then prompted subsequent
  conversations with others in Dugan’s and Cotton’s respective communit
 ies: friends\, colleagues\, mentors\, and subjects of Dugan’s work—inc
 luding Dawoud Bey\, Kelli Connell\, and Dorothy Moss\, among others. Trans
 criptions of these intimate and in-depth exchanges are woven with the firs
 t comprehensive survey of Dugan’s work in book form.\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\nA
