Fieldworks Lecture 2

Come join us February 8th from 6-7pm for the next lecture in our Fieldworks Lecture Series.

Tonight February 1st, we are kicking off our Fieldworks Lecture Series at 6pm in the Vicki Myhren Gallery with Sarah Gjerston and Timothy Weaver!   Sarah Gjertson’s work focuses on historic nostalgia, American expectations of “womanhood”, and the utilization of sculpture to elicit feelings of longing or familiarity.

These artists pull tactics from social science, psychology, education and design thinking. Referred to as “social practice” or “relational aesthetics” these artists use human relations as their artistic medium rather than a traditional independent creative practice.
