Artist Talk: Nick Meyer – Good Bones
Artist Talk: Nick Meyer – Good Bones
Please join us for an evening with Nick Meyer, as he discusses Good Bones, a newly released body of work and book that reflects on parenthood, history, anxiety, and the uneasy rhythms of contemporary life.
Good Bones emerges from Meyer’s experience of raising a young family amid overlapping crises. Moving fluidly between the intimate and the societal, the work grapples with questions of legacy, responsibility, and how to remain attentive to moments of care and joy in an era shaped by uncertainty and relentless news cycles. Drawing a parallel to Gary Winogrand’s restless mid-career doubts, Meyer positions this project as both a self-portrait and a document of its time: an attempt to look clearly at the present while acknowledging the ways history repeats, erodes, and persists.
In this talk, Meyer will speak about the making of the book, the ideas that shaped the work, and how photography functions for him as a way to sit with ambiguity rather than resolve it. The evening will include a presentation followed by conversation and audience questions. Copies of the book, along with Archive, another release from Meyer’s imprint Nowhere Books, will be available for purchase.
This event is open to all and especially suited for anyone interested in contemporary documentary practice, photobooks, and work that bridges personal experience with broader cultural reflection.
