Photographing Intimacy / Choreographing Space
Photography can be a very intimate and vulnerable medium to visualize your inner monologue and who you are as a person, especially when working with themes of family, (self-)portraiture, and personal relationships. And over a lifespan, your sense of intimacy and relationship to space — and how to express it in a photographic practice — can fluctuate with growth, life experience, a changing world, and aging. Through a combination of weekly lectures, photography and writing prompts, and a selection of readings from the Princeton Papers on Architecture: Sexuality & Space, you’ll be encouraged to apply what you discover during this 8-week course, with the goal of deepening your work. Each class session we’ll examine the work of different artists working within the broad themes of intimacy and space, along with ongoing critical dialogue tailored to the expansion of your personal visual practice. This class is ideal for students working on a long term project or those just getting started on one.

Chloe Scout Nix is an artist and performer from Waxahachie, Texas, currently living in Brooklyn. She graduated with her MFA in photography from Pratt Institute and received her BFA in visual arts, with a minor in art history, from Southern Methodist University. Her conceptual work focuses on acts of performative intimacy using various modes of performing for the camera that often result in self portraiture. She received the Dallas Museum of Art’s Clare Hart DeGolyer Memorial Fund award in 2019, and the Standard Club Award that Makes a Difference in 2018. Her 2024 thesis exhibition, sorry for the mess, curated by Jody Graf, was displayed at the Pratt Photography Gallery in Brooklyn, with a selection of images also exhibited at Clamp gallery in Chelsea (NYC) as part of the group show Everything is Something, curated by Allen Frame.
