Details

Join Garth Claassen in a community conversation on topics related to positioning politics in art. As a starting point, Claassen will begin the session with a brief tour of his solo exhibition Nothing to See Here, speaking to the evolution of the work presented and the subjects it addresses. Accompanied by other local artists, the participatory discussion will seek to answer such questions as: How does one make work based on one’s personal experience of political issues while trying to communicate more broadly? Does a degree of ambiguity encourage the viewer’s own creative response to the work and imbue it with a quality of timelessness, or does ambiguity make it susceptible to misinterpretation as world events shift and change? ‘Community Art Talk’ is an informal dialogue that welcomes attendees to contribute to the exchange of ideas and share perspectives.
