Photographers John Divola and Anthony Hernandez, who specialize in depicting remote and abandoned spaces, will take part in a conversation about their work at 6 p.m. Oct. 8 in Sheldon Museum of Art. The talk is free and open to the public.

Toby Jurovics, Joslyn Art Museum’s chief curator, will moderate the conversation. Works by Divola and Hernandez are on display in the current Sheldon exhibition “Approaching Landscape,” and a photo by Hernandez is featured in “For Freedoms: In the future days …”

John Divola

Divola works primarily with photography and digital imaging. He has received numerous awards for his work, including individual artist fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship. Divola’s images have been featured in more than 70 exhibitions in the United States, Mexico, Europe, Asia and Australia, and are also included in several major museum collections.

Anthony Hernandez

Hernandez took up photography in earnest in the early 1970s after returning from Vietnam, where he served as an Army medic. His work has developed from street portraiture to documentation of human presence in landscape. He has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the American Academy in Rome, the Charles Pratt Memorial Award, a Romthe DG Bank Förderpreis Fotografie from the Sprengel Museum Hannover, and the Higashikawa Prize.
