The Print Center Series

Gallery Talks, Lectures and Special Events: Film Screening with Secret Cinema: Trick Baby    
Thursday, October 15, 7:30pm

The Print Center teams up with Secret Cinema for a screening of the 1973 film Trick Baby, which was shot in many locations in West Philadelphia. This hilarious action film about two con men running from both the cops and the mob gives a glimpse back into a very different time in Philadelphia’s history. The film will be introduced by Irv Slifkin, author of Filmadelphia: A Celebration of a City’s Movies.

Panel Discussion: Streets of Philadelphia
Thursday, November 12, 6:00pm
Hosted by The Print Center’s Curator, John Caperton, this panel will include Miles Orvell, Professor at Temple University and author of the Oxford History of Art: American Photography; Stephen Perloff, exhibiting artist and editor of four national photography publications; and Zoe Strauss, a Philadelphia photographer whose gritty documentary work was included in the 2006 Whitney Biennial. The panelists will discuss the legacy of the works in the exhibition, the era they present and their relationship to street photography being created today.

All events are free and open to the public and will take place at The Print Center unless otherwise noted.
