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.
