Visiting artist series features lecture by Carol Golemboski

Photographer Carol Golemboski will deliver a free lecture at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 19 in Richards Hall, Room 15. The talk is part of the Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist Series.

Golemboski uses antiquated objects as metaphors in carefully staged scenes. Her process, defined by the use of black and white film and traditional darkroom printing, combines photography and drawing in ambiguous and provocative ways. Her psychologically charged still life images draw on past eras to suggest the continuum of human emotions and anxieties, particularly relating to the experience of women.

Golemboski received a Master of Fine Arts in photography and a Master of Arts in art. She has been the recipient of numerous grants and her “Psychometry” series won the 2007 Project Competition Award from Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Golemboski’s images have been published internationally in textbooks and notable photographic journals in the United States, China, France, Spain, Austria and Sweden. She is an associate professor and the area head of photography at the University of Colorado Denver.

In 2013 Golemboski released an interactive artist’s book as an iPad app called “Psychometry.” It was selected as one of the 12 Outstanding Books of 2013 by the Independent Publisher Book Awards, winning the category of “Outstanding eBook Achievement.”
