Talk

MPS Digital Photography presents a talk with Tim Soter. Soter is an artist, photographer, book designer, and publisher operating under the imprint The Ship Escaped. A common underlying thread in his work is the act of mythologizing—whether it’s an already famous photographer, a decades-old music scene, or even an artistic process. His most recent book, DFA Records: The Early Years, documents the raw energy, underground spirit, and formative moments of New York’s DFA music scene from 2003 to 2007. His work is held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, the International Center of Photography, and Tate Modern.

Starting in 2011 and after over 250 lectures, the i3: Images, Ideas, Inspiration Lecture series continues to feature leading photographers, artists, editors, gallerists, and industry experts. The Spring 2025 i3 Lecture season is curated and hosted by MPS Digital Photography faculty member Julie Grahame. Most past lectures are available on YouTube and Vimeo.
