SUMMARY:Poster display tactics as photographic arguments - Kelley Wilder (

CONTACT:Richard Staley
DESCRIPTION:Although the use of science posters became widespread only in 
 the second half of the 20th century\, many of the tactics for displaying p
 hotographs were developed in the late 19th or early 20th centuries\, in th
 e context of photographic exhibitions. This talk addresses the methods dep
 loyed by exhibitors of documentary\, science and other 'applied' photograp
 hy that foregrounded the presentation of an argument over the presentation
  of pictorial content. The techniques of comparison\, using multiple photo
 graphic processes\, standardising presentation formats and captioning were
  all deployed at one time or another\, and all can also be found in the us
 e of photographs in scientific posters. Comparing exhibitions of science p
 hotography and exhibitions of survey photographs I will show how these ear
 ly display tactics could be described as poster display tactics.
