Between Inspiration and Collecting: The Artist's Cabinet: Artist Talk

February 15  •  Live

RSVP HERE

On February 15th at 4 PM, join us for a captivating Artist Talk featuring the creators behind the exhibition Between Inspiration and Collecting: The Artist's Cabinet. This unique event offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from the artists as they delve into the stories behind their personal collections and how these objects intertwine with their creative practices. Each artist will share insights into their intimate cabinets of curiosities, revealing how everyday items, rare finds, and even digital archives serve as catalysts for their artistic vision. Through their narratives, you’ll discover how these collections are not merely accumulations of objects but vital components of their artistic ecosystems, reflecting identity, memory, and the profound ways we derive meaning from material culture.

The talk will provide a deeper understanding of the exhibition’s central theme: the artist as both creator and collector. As you listen to the artists, you’ll gain a richer appreciation for the deliberate arrangements of their installations, which blur the lines between their created works and collected items. This dialogue will invite you to reflect on your own relationships with the objects that populate your life, encouraging a broader contemplation of how collecting shapes our understanding of art, self, and the world around us. Don’t miss this chance to engage with the minds behind the exhibition and explore the hidden layers of inspiration that fuel their artistic journeys.
