Freeway photographs and portraits of curators give Catherine Opie and LACMA curator Britt Salvesen a starting point for discussing photography, identity, place and Los Angeles.
All times are local to the venue · America/Los Angeles
Opie’s Freeways photographs turn toward urban space; her recent curator portraits focus on people who work in museums. At LACMA, those distinct subjects frame a conversation with curator Britt Salvesen about what photographs can document of identity, place and Los Angeles’s changing cultural landscape.
LACMA identifies Opie’s Freeways photographs and recent portraits of curators as reference points for the discussion. The pairing sets images of the built environment alongside portraits of museum professionals, giving the conversation a specific route into its broader themes.
The announced format is an artist-curator conversation, not a workshop or gallery tour. The event listing names the subjects and themes but does not provide a more detailed running order.

The event is part of Third Weekends at LACMA, a monthly series whose programs draw on the museum’s collection and special exhibitions. The series includes both free and ticketed events; this conversation has its own admission price.
LACMA also lists Addams Family Values as a separate program on Nov. 23, from 7:30 to 9 p.m., at $10 or $8 for members. It follows the conversation on the calendar but is not presented as part of the talk, so treat it as a separate booking.
