The Henry is delighted to announce the establishment of the Monsen Photography Lecture, an annual presentation which will bring key makers and thinkers in photographic art to the Pacific Northwest. Los Angeles-based photographer James Welling is the inaugural speaker. Welling has consistently experimented with the bounds of the photographic medium throughout his career that spans three decades. 

To coincide with the artist's visit as the inaugural speaker of the Monsen Photography Lecture, the Henry presents a focused exhibition highlighting Welling's interest in the subjectivity and emotion of time and place. The selection of works in photography and video in the show span three decades, highlighting his contributions to photography and his presence in the museum's and local private collections.
