Meet the Curator - Denver Art Museum curator Eric Paddock

Paddock has presented 17 exhibitions, including portraits of refugees and marginalized people in Common Ground: Photographs by Fazal Sheikh and New Territory: Landscape Photography Today, a survey of contemporary landscape photography that emphasized experimental work. A fifth generation Coloradoan, he graduated from Colorado College and was assistant to photographer Frank Gohlke for three years before he entered the master of fine arts photography program at Yale University. He was curator of photography and Film at the Colorado Historical Society (now History Colorado) from 1983 to 2008.

He'll be speaking on photography as art, how to curate exhibitions and how to collect photographic art.
