“Out of the Picture” Screening and Discussion
"Out of the Picture" is a feature-length documentary that explores the role of art critics and the rapidly evolving landscape of art, arts writing, and criticism at large. Filmmaker Mary Louise Schumacher follows critics from across the country, examining how writers and publications have responded or adapted to monumental shifts in media, while revealing the enduring impact of arts writing along the way.
Following the screening, join a conversation with former arts writer for The Stranger Jen Graves and artist Barbara Earl Thomas, Seattleites who are featured in the film. Together, they will explore what is lost and who is most impacted when art critics are absent from cultural conversations. Drawing on examples from the films, including works by Frye exhibiting artist Mary Ann Peters, the discussion will highlight the symbiotic relationship between those who make and those who look, before opening it up to audience questions.
