The Mark of Abel

Lydia Panas photographs people. In twos and threes or sometimes alone, the people of her photographs always seem a little caught off guard. The pictures are neither candid nor fully composed, each face looking a little bewildered to have ended up in the frame. Never smiling, her subjects have a haunting power over viewers, making us painfully aware that we are delving into lives that we may not have full permission to see. A native of Kutztown, PA, Panas has shown her work at galleries across the U.S. and abroad, and her photographs have been published in the New York Times Magazine and fotoMAGAZIN. Her solo show The Mark of Abel is currently on view at the Allentown Art Museum, and the accompanying book will be the subject of tonight's discussion. For anyone interested in the process of photography and the often twisted paths to publishing artwork, Panas is sure to offer some much-needed insight.

6:30p.m., free, The Print Center, 1614 Latimer St., printcenter.org.
