Laura J. Padgett
Laura J. Pagett (* 1958 in Cambridge, Massachusetts) is an US-american artist, mainly working in photography and film.
Background
Laura J. Padgett, born 1958 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She studied painting at Pratt Institute of Art and Design in Brooklyn, New York from 1976-1980, receiving her BFA in 1980[1]. Since 1981 she has been living in Europe. She studied Photography and Film with Peter Kubelka and Herbert Schwöbel at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main. She received her Master's in Art History from Frankfurt Goethe-Universität in 1994. Since 1992 she has taught at many higher education institutions in Germany, USA and Jordan, including the Bauhaus-Universität in Weimar, Hochschule für Gestaltung, Offenbach, Paderborn University, Drexel Universtiy[2][3][3] and the Hochschule-Rhein-Main in Wiesbaden. She is currently teaching in the Theater, Film and Media Studies Department at the Goethe-University in Frankfurt am Main. She lives and works in Frankfurt am Main.
Padgett’s medium is photography and film. Her artistic oeuvre often features urban scenes and interiors, engaging with spaces created by humans and with things as remains and traces of everyday culture. In her photographic work she often arranges individual photographs into diptychs, triptychs or series. Text is introduced selectively to create correlations and develop the narrative. While at times Padgett emphasizes details and some images relate to classic still life, other works concentrate their focus on architectural elements in particular relationships. Both share the visualization of structures and layers that bring to light the correlations behind the surfaces of the obvious. Padgett uses a wide range of techniques, from classic black & white and color film to digital photography and augmented reality. Since 2018 she is represented by the Gallery-Peter-Sillem[4]
Since 1991, Laura J. Padgett’s work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Germany and throughout Europe. Her photography has also been widely published. her photographs accompany the text by Peter Zumthor in Thinking Architecture (2006/2010/2012)[5][6]. Between 2010-2012 Padgett followed the new construction and renovation of the Städel Museum resulting in the publication "Raum über Zeit – Space over Time" (2012)[7]. During this period of two years she created photographic narratives that capture time as the space in between[8]. "Confined Space" was published in 2016, showcasing photographs she made in Lebanon during times she spent there 2011-2015[9]. Her most recent publication "Open Equations" appeared 2019[10].
Padgett’s films have been screened internationally at venues like the Media City Film Festival, Detroit [11], Cité Paris[12], House of World Cultures, Berlin[13], Pharos Centre for Contemporary Art in Nicosia[14], the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, Mousonturm[15] in Frankfurt am Main, Cineteca di Bologna, Künstlerhaus Kino in Vienna, Viper Filmfestival in Bern, Kunsthalle Erfurt and at the International Short Film Festival in Oberhausen. 2017 she received the Marielies-Hess Art Award[16]. In the accompanying exhibition at the Museum Giersch of the Goethe University, she also screened her film SOLITAIRE (2017)[17].
