HELMUT NEWTON &amp; BRUCE GILDEN<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">We will begin with a short lecture dedicated to two photographers who have consistently challenged audiences and photographic conventions: <strong>Helmut Newton and Bruce Gilden<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Two very different approaches. Two distinctive visual languages. Two careers in which controversy became an important element of the work.<\/p>\n<h3>2. CONTROVERSY AS AN ARTISTIC TOOL<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In the second part of the meeting, we will open the discussion:<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Can controversy help an artist find their own voice?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">We will look at provocation not simply as a way of attracting attention, but as a conscious artistic strategy \u2014 a way to question conventions, confront the viewer, and communicate ideas that might otherwise remain unnoticed.<\/p>\n<h3>3. OPEN DISCUSSION<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">We also invite you to bring your own references into the conversation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Think of photographers whose work uses provocation, controversy, or the breaking of social and aesthetic conventions as a means of expression.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Bring names, photographs, books, or projects that you find interesting \u2014 especially those that make you uncomfortable, raise questions, challenge your expectations, or divide opinions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Where does provocation end and meaningful artistic expression begin?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Join us for an evening of discussion, questions, and different perspectives on what photography can \u2014 and perhaps should \u2014 do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See you at the second Inspiration Meeting!<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/2185616275320961\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">School of Creative Photography Exchange: Open Meetup &#8211;
