This Week

Jeffrey Gibson Virtual Artist Talk
Wed. Oct 28, 5pm EDT
Register for free tickets here

2019 MacArthur Genius Grant winner Jeffrey Gibson (b. 1972, USA) combines Native American traditions with the visual languages of Modernism to explore the contemporary confluence of personal identity, culture, history, and international social narratives. Gibson is a member of the Choctaw and Cherokee nations. He currently lives and works in Hudson, New York. One of his most recognized series involves punching bags that Gibson deftly transforms into aesthetic totems. Another of Gibson’s long running series involves an examination of transformational garments. A selection of these garments were exhibited in the 2019 Whitney Biennial.

Registration Opens for Katherine Bradford Virtual Artist Talk
Wed. Oct 28
Event date: Wed. Nov 11, 5pm
Register for free tickets here

Katherine Bradford (born 1942) is an American artist based in New York, best known for paintings of swimmers, superheroes and ships that critics describe as simultaneously representational and abstract, luminous, and richly metaphorical.She began her career as an artist relatively late in life and has achieved her widest recognition in her seventies, through New York gallery shows at CANADA, Sperone Westwater, and Edward Thorp. Writing about her work’s adventurousness, open-ended process, refusal of canonical either/or conundrums (representational-abstract, formal-narrative) and relevance to younger artists, critic John Yau called Bradford, among others, “an important figure in an alternative history that has yet to receive the attention it deserves.” Image: “Fear of Waves”, acrylic on canvas, 84” x 72” 2015.
