On Thursday, March 9, we welcome photographer and educator Seth David Rubin to “Meet the Artist” night at CPW. Rubin will present a brief overview of his development as an artist, leading up to his work from the last five to seven years. This event will be live-streamed on CPW’s Facebook page just before the start time.
Join us every Thursday evening at CPW, when we host illuminating talks with local and visiting artists. “Meet the Artist” allows the public to get to know new work, to hear about artistic processes, and to meet friends and other local artists. The evening takes place at CPW’s gallery at 474 Broadway in Kingston, NY. It is free and open to the public. Coffee, tea, and snacks are served. “Meet the Artist” is made possible by a generous grant from the Arnold and Augusta Newman Foundation.
Seth David Rubin is an American photographer and educator who was born in 1968 in Lisbon, Portugal.
Rubin started taking pictures at the age of eleven. He received his B.A. from Bard College, and M.F.A. from Yale. He started making “performances for the camera,” using his own body while in college. Since then he continues to work creating fictions and reinterpretations of reality. Recent work is composed of mirror and glass installations that are photographed on site.

Rubin was an Artist-in- Residence with the Merchant Ivory Foundation, Claverack NY. He has collaborated with film director James Ivory on many projects.
