Join us for a spirited conversation moderated by artist Douglas Ewart featuring Craft Invitational curatorial committee members, Delores Fortuna and Don Friedlich, and exhibiting artist, Kee-Ho Yuen.
The “reasoning” as Ewart calls it, will be a forum to exchange ideas, knowledge and concepts while exploring the role of craft in the art world and in our daily lives.
Topics include: Craft vs. Art, the ecology of traditional ways of fabrication, the intersection of craft with the sciences, and the importance of play.
Following the conversation Douglas Ewart will discuss his multidisciplinary work which weaves together music, art making, and performance.
Join us at 1:30 p.m. this Saturday, July 23 to hear a gallery talk from Randy Richmond, a still-life photographer. The humble still life—the genre of art that features only an arrangement of objects—has managed, over the centuries, to contain multitudes.
Still-life images are their own worlds, greater than the sum of their parts; they have been radical formal experiments, markers of colonialism and wealth, stark reminders of mortality, love letters and portraits, and even illustrations of scientific knowledge.
Randy will talk about his inspiration, process and technique in the exhibition Subtext and Overstory: Still-life Photography by Randy Richmond.
Join artists Libby Reuter, Susan Knight, Jennifer Bates, and Anna Metcalfe for a gallery talk regarding their work in the current exhibit “Flow: Journey Through the Mississippi Water Shed.”
Free.
