Yale Photo Pop Up Lecture Series
presents
Adrianne Lenker

Announcing the next guest in the Photography Department's virtual pop up lectures series: Adrianne Lenker.

Adrianne Lenker has been writing songs since she was 10 years old. Her back story has been well documented in various interviews and profiles for Big Thief over the last five years. Despite, or more likely because of, the constant touring and studio work, the last few years have been some of the most prolific for Lenker as a writer. Songs pop out at soundcheck. They pop out on late night drives between cities. They pop out in green rooms, hotel stairwells, gardens, and kitchens around the world. In the hands of Lenker, songwriting is not an old dead craft. It is alive. It is vital. Following a busy 2019 which saw Big Thief release two critically acclaimed albums, Lenker released her latest solo albums, songs and instrumentals, on October 23, 2020.
The School of Art community is invited to attend these online 30-minute events in which Gregory Crewdson, Director of Graduate Studies in Photography, asks each guest a list of simple questions about artistic practice, and the anticipation of an end to the pandemic crisis.
