Photographer Gregory Crewdson will speak about his work and the creative process. Crewdson is best known for staging large-scale cinematic scenes that result in surreal photos of American homes and neighborhoods. His work has been described by the New York Times as "elaborately contrived micro-epics" and as having "production credits to rival a James Cameron movie."

The Dallas Museum of Art is currently featuring three of his photographs in its first floor galleries, in both the All the World's A Stage exhibition and in an installation of contemporary art from the DMA's collections in the Hoffman Galleries. Other prominent U.S. museums that include the work of Gregory Crewdson in their holdings are the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. A traveling exhibition spanning the artist's career was shown at major museums around Europe from 2003 to 2005. His most recent work, produced from 2005 to 2007, was shown in spring 2008 at the Luhring Augustine Gallery in New York City, the Gagosian Gallery in Los Angeles, and the White Cube gallery in London.
