Canceled – Visiting Artist Lecture: Cassi Namoda

Virtual Events

Cassi Namoda uses painting as an exercise in crossing cultural and historical references between her country of origin and the rest of the world. Using colors of intensities that range from the subtle to the acidic, applied in raw and expressive brushstrokes, the artist explores and cross-pollinates religious symbols with literary characters and real people, forging complex narratives. Namoda studies the unlikely meeting points between antagonistic mythologies and gives new meaning to symbols through boldly constructed images.

Visiting Artist Lecture: Angela Dufresne

Angela Dufresne is a painter originally from Connecticut, raised however in the town in Kansas (Olathe-Suburbs) that Dick and Perry stopped in before they killed the Clutters (In Cold Blood), and now based in Brooklyn. Her work articulates non-paranoid, porous ways of being in a world fraught by fear, possession, autonomy, power and possession. Through painting, drawing and performative works, she wields heterotopic narratives that are both non-hierarchical and perverse.

Visiting Artist Lecture: Jonathan Berger

Virtual Events

Jonathan Berger’s work centers around the practice of exhibition making, encompassing a spectrum of activity concerned with a rigorous investigation of the many ways in which the exhibition site can be repurposed, and the subsequent potential for that site to allow for an expansion and reconsideration of what art can be and how it can be made.
