ARTIST TALKS:
Entangled-embodiments by Bev Butkow
Johannesburg-based artist Bev Butkow will discuss her immersion in materials, form and personal narrative as she interrogates how these can convey meaning and evoke memory. What do materials reveal about our society? How can material objects and sedimented surfaces evoke memory of gendered processes of work? Bev’s artistic process delves into material embodiment, with the female body foregrounded as a site of sedimentary knowledge accumulated through the micro-events of daily life. Bev’s talk will consider her use of painting, weaving and personal narrative as thinking processes.
The Sensing Body in the Visual Arts: Making and Experiencing Sculpture by Rosalyn Driscoll
Visual artist Rosalyn Driscoll spent a decade making tactile sculpture and investigating the nature of touch and the role of the body in the visual experience. Her writing on the subject will be published by Bloomsbury Press this December in a book titled The Sensing Body in the Visual Arts: Making and Experiencing Sculpture. She will read from the book and show images of her tactile work.
Building Community Through Printmaking by Robynn Smith
This talk examines Print Day and May and other community printmaking actions initiated by artists on three continents. Print Day in May, founded in California in 2007, is an annual, global event that celebrates printmaking and has built a community of tens of thousands of printmakers in over 60 countries. Every year on the first Saturday in May, printmakers all over the world do what they love; make prints. An artist working alone in the Canadian woods, large, festive groups of printmakers in Australia, California college teachers and their students silk screening t-shirts in support of the teachers union, Venezuelan printmakers taking a day to make art in the midst of chaos, an Eritrean man making exquisitely detailed relief prints at his local community center. All of these printmakers take the time to make prints, post their images, appreciate the images and techniques of others, engage in cross cultural dialog initiated through a passion for seeing and making. A community is built.
