Forum: “Art & Orthodoxy: What’s a Photographer to Do?” Of all media, none is so literal and banal as photography. So how can a photographer aspire to great art? TVUUC member David Habercom photographed avidly in the Modernist tradition through his mid-thirties. He returned to photography at age 60, photographed homeless people in Knoxville (a project which WUOT news director Matt Shafer Powell discussed at TVUUC services on February 24), and is now working on a large series of 24 images in the Symbolist tradition. A smaller Symbolist series, called “Severance” will hang in the TVUUC Art Gallery this Summer. At this forum, David will discuss his work, art, and new directions in photography. |

Forum: “John F. Kennedy: Years of Lightning, Days of Drama” A rarely seen 1964 film by the former US Information Agency (USIA). Narrator Gregory Peck intones, “History will pick up its cold pen and book, and write in chronological order the events of the day with the date and time and the city. But history will be wrong, for there wasn’t one date, or time, or city.” President Kennedy’s “years of lighting” (1961-1963) include the Peace Corps, the conquest of space, the Alliance for Progress, civil rights, freedom, and world peace. His “day of drums” is the state funeral on November 25, 1963. Introduced by Ted Lollis (a retired Foreign Service Officer), this forum will last 75-80 minutes. |
