Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture // Fritz Horstman

Artist and teacher Fritz Horstman discusses his studio practice and his book,  Interacting with Color: A Practical Guide to Josef Albers’s Color Experiments in this Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture.

Artist, educator, curator, and author Fritz Horstman’s lecture will be two-faceted. He will cover both his new book, which is a companion to Josef Albers’s beautiful and canonical, though sometimes opaque, Interaction of Color, first published in 1963, and some of his own artwork, which is deeply informed by working so closely with the work of Anni and Josef Albers. Horstman’s book focuses on 8 essential experiments in Albers’s text, providing more images, step-by-step explanations, new resources, and anecdotes from Albers’s classes and from his own. The lecture will transition to his studio practice, where he’ll share images of his Folded Cyanotypes and Folded Palladiums, made by folding photo-sensitive paper, as well as images of several new sculptures and videos in which he describes glacial valleys with a wide range of materials and processes. The lecture will conclude with images of what’s happening in his studio this summer.

Included with $15 Museum admission, free for PAAM members.

THE FREDI SCHIFF LEVIN LECTURE SERIES

The Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture Series welcomes artists, art historians, curators, and authors to speak at PAAM during the summer, both in conjunction with exhibitions and as independent scholars.

The series was established in honor of artist Fredi Schiff Levin, an active member of Provincetown’s arts community from the 1960s until her passing in 2002. We extend our deepest gratitude to The Levin Family, who graciously sponsors this series.
