Description:
- Writer and art critic Wendy Vogel leads a conversation with multimedia artists Fawn Krieger and David B. Smith, whose practices involve layering, colliding, and collapsing physical materials and visual forms to reimagine ceramics and textiles. The artists will discuss their exploration of themes such as attachment, association, relation, embodiment, and perception. Their work raises questions about how our society views creative labor, and generates new ideas for organizing and understanding the world.
- This event is presented in connection with "Fawn Krieger and David B. Smith: Home Bodies," on view at Brattleboro Museum & Art Center through March 9, 2024.
