Julie has also been professor at Université de Moncton since 2000. She considers her photographic research as an intermediate between a space and a place.From Julie Forgues' artistic statement:"Through the photographic image, I explore how the in-between in a landscape is a place in itself, a blurry lieu between what was (space) and what will be (place). These intermediate sites where nature and culture find themselves in a state of transformation…in a latent state…is what I render in image. I see this middle point as a site that is neither nature nor culture. Being a part of my landscape conceptions, these in-betweens are therefore important for the understanding of these notions. My work makes these process and these in-between sites visible." - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/stirling/artist-talk-julie-forgues-dear-svalbard-why-did-i-come-back/100001990638281687 - **Event Categories**: art, theatre, science-fair - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Stirling - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: University of Stirling - **lat**: 56.1454634 - **long**: -3.9200227 - **full address**: University of Stirling, University of Stirling, Stirling, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Artist Talk: Julie Forgues - Dear Svalbard, why did I come back? - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/5b33facf0b7b2341f722b3b519425a10a21c390fe3357bbabdebd74c44b34e56-rimg-w1200-h896-dca7b8c6-gmir.jpg?v=1781073928 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Artist Talk: Julie Forgues - Dear Svalbard, why did I come back? being held? - **A:** Artist Talk: Julie Forgues - Dear Svalbard, why did I come back? takes place on Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 02:00 pm to Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 03:00 pm at University of Stirling, University of Stirling, Stirling, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Artist Talk: Julie Forgues - Dear Svalbard, why did I come back?? - **A:** Artist Talk: Julie Forgues - Dear Svalbard, why did I come back? is organized by Art Collection, University of Stirling. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
