An Evening of Art + Activism

Roman photographer Beatrice Pediconi uses tempera and water to create abstract works that merge painting, performance and photography.  The resulting imagery pushes photography to new modes of spontaneity, freshness and formal power.  Pediconi has had solo exhibitions at Galleria Valentina Bonomo, Rome; Photo & Contemporary Gallery, Turin; and Galleria Bonomo, Bari, among others.  She has exhibited throughout Europe, Asia and the United States.

 For this season's fifth Adventure, Fred Plotkin will be speaking to Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, starring in Bartlett Sher's new production of Rossini's Le Comte Ory at the Met.
