On Thursday, Sept. 29 at 5 p.m., new media artist Rob Carter is speaking at Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art, Auburn University in conjunction with the FILM@JCSM series.

British-born and now Richmond-based, Rob Carter uses photography, video animation, and installation to represent environmental and architectural change. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from The Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art at Oxford University and later received an Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art from Hunter College in New York. He has shown his work internationally, with solo exhibitions at Art In General in New York, Galerie Stefan Röpke in Cologne, Station Independent Projects in New York, Galeria Arnés y Ropke in Madrid and Fondazione Pastificio Cerere in Rome. He has also exhibited at Centre Pompidou-Metz in France, Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art in Japan, The Field Museum in Chicago, Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia and Museum of Arts and Design in New York. Carter has been awarded a Workspace residency with the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (2011–12) and a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship (2010). He recently returned from a productive three month residency at Bemis Center for Contemporary Art in Omaha, Nebraska.
