 | Lecture Series - Visiting Artist Sarah Lindley
7:00 PM
Lecture Series - Visiting Artist
The Visiting Artist Program has been a vital component of the Department of Art & Art History since 1972. Each year, 8–10 nationally recognized artists present diverse ideas and their body of work during their visit to the Boulder campus. During their stay, artists give a public lecture, teach a seminar class, participate in a recorded interview and provide individual critiques with graduate students. All lectures in this series are free and open to the public.
Ms. Lindley’s structural forms are intended to seem familiar, but not completely clear and decipherable. Chests, desks, and cabinets that are routinely designed to protect, organize and display their contents are reduced to systems and structures, incapable of function. Delicate, wavering clay slabs frame vacant internal spaces, as well as the void around the forms, creating an atmosphere of fragility, reverence and questionable stability. She is an Associate Professor at Kalamazoo College in Michigan.
