Jockey Club Community Outreach and Arts Education Programmes:
Curating ‘Noir & Blanc’ with Flora Triebel and Pauline J. Yao
Since its invention in the 1820s, black-and-white photography has continued to evolve and has captured generations of artists and makers. By looking into how photographers from different generations and geographies have experimented with the medium, this exhibition, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Noir & Blanc—A Story of Photography, offers different perspectives to understand the art of black-and-white image-making over the course of more than a century.
In this talk, we explore how the aesthetics of black-and-white photography endure amidst the rise of colour photography and digital media—and ask, why do we look at black-and-white photography now? Hear from Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) Curator Flora Triebel and M+ Curator Pauline J. Yao as they share the concept behind the exhibition.
Co-organised by M+ and French May Arts Festival, this talk—one of the activities under the Jockey Club Community Outreach and Arts Education Programmes exclusively sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust—will be conducted in English with simultaneous interpretation in Cantonese.
