The American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center in Washington, DC, will host a Gallery Talk with leading contemporary Czech photographer Ivan Pinkava on November 3 at 5 pm and opening reception following the talk from 6-9 pm. Pinkava will present Remains, an exhibition of works which employ generally comprehensible cultural codes to refer to the state of the human spirit of the individual in ‘Western’ culture.

Remains is an exhibition of works by the Czech photographer Ivan Pinkava (b. 1961) which employ generally comprehensible cultural codes to refer to the state of the human spirit of the individual in 'Western' culture.

For almost thirty years, Pinkava has created his own, distinctive visual language, which can be identified with his thinking about the world. In 2002 he was included in a German encyclopaedia of international photographers, Das Lexikon der Fotografen 1900 bis heute. In 2004 the Galerie Rudolfinum, Prague, mounted his biggest solo exhibition to date, accompanied by the publishing of his monograph Heroes. From 2005 to 2007, Pinkava ran the Photography Studio at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. The curator of the exhibition is Petr Vaňous.
