Saturday, October 19th, 7pm, (please RSVP)
Co-Lab Projects, 5419 Glissman Rd, Austin, TX 78702
Join us at the Culvert Gallery for another look at “Epiphany” and a conversation moderated by esteemed artist Justine Kurland. In this talk, Justine hopes to open a discussion about themes and processes in each artist's work and in relation to one another. Justine echos the question underlying the exhibition “Epiphany” and the mission of Co-Lab Projects- How do we support artists engaged in radical experimentation and play?
About the Moderator:
Justine Kurland is an artist known for her utopian photographs of American landscapes and the fringe communities, both real and imagined, that inhabit them. Her early work comprises photographs, taken during many cross-country road trips, that counter the masculinist mythology of the American landscape, offering a radical female imaginary in its place. Her recent series of collages, SCUMB Manifesto, continues to make space for women by transforming books by canonized male photographers through destruction and reparation. Kurland’s work has been exhibited at museums and galleries in the United States and abroad.
Her work is included in permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Carnegie Museum, Pennsylvania; Getty Museum, California; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Montreal, among others.
