  • Future Art(ifacts): “What She Opened” by Jackie Reeves

    In honor of Juneteenth, local artist Jackie Reeves presents her installation What She Opened, an homage to educator, activist, and “Grandmother of Juneteeth”, Dr. Opal Lee. Sometimes referred to as the nation’s second independence day, Juneteenth recognizes June 19, 1865 when Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas announcing that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state were free. However, it was not until June 17, 2021, after decades long efforts led by Lee, that President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act bill that finally established June 19th as a federal holiday. This temporary art piece celebrates a once underrepresented but crucial moment in American history.

  • 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.
