​The Hand-Off: Nick Drain and Harrison Kinnane Smith
in Conversation
1.2.21

Nick Drain is a fine artist born in Chicago, IL, who lives and works in Milwaukee, WI. Centering his thinking around blackness, his work investigates the politics of visibility in an effort to illustrate the complex relationship of blackness and Black people to the object of the camera. 

Published in the Bunker Review's new Hand-Off series, Drain's essay What Are You Looking At?  uses photographic history, Simone Brown’s sousveillance, and Jeremy Bentham’s panopticon to uncover the entangled relationship between “the technology that is race and the technology that is photography.” Join us for a virtual conversation between Drain and Bunker Review editor Harrison Kinnane Smith about Drain's essay, and how he addresses the questions it raises in his art.
