Beginning Friday, March 14th is the Spring 2014 Larry Sultan Visiting Artist Program in collaboration with California College of the Arts and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art featuring “A Conversation with Philip Gefter and Mike Mandel” at the Timken Lecture Hall, California College of the Arts, San Francisco. Mike Mandel grew up in Southern California’s San Fernando Valley during a period of expansion and transformation of the landscape that included the appearance of billboards, strip malls, and miles of freeways. This experience informs much of his work, which questions the meaning of photographic imagery within popular culture and draws from snapshots, advertising, news photographs, and public and corporate archives.
