Free Lectures, Workshops at McDonough Museum
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- Youngstown State University’s Department of Art and the Beecher Center for Art and Technology will present four free art lectures and workshops in April at the McDonough Museum of Art. The first, at 5:30 p.m. April 3, features Jodi Morrison.
Morrison will talk about her project “Fleeting Pages,” a four-week-long “pop-up” bookstore that stocks only works by local writers and books from small, independent publishers across the country.
The lectures are open to the public. Parking is available for $5 at the nearby YSU deck on Wick Avenue. For more information, call 330 941 3627.
The schedule of other events:
- April 9, 12:30 p.m.: Jason Martin. He describes his Power Animal Systems project as a “species-queer performance ensemble, video project and photographic series based on illustrations of trans-dimensional beings that visited Martin in visions and dreams, which he kept secret for years until finally integrating this subject matter into his art.”
- April 10, 5:30 p.m.: Hrafnhildur Arnardottir (aka “Shoppy”). Arnardottir is an artist from Iceland whose work has been shown and published all over the world, including MoMA’s The Modern, the Nordic Fashion Biennial, and has won the Nordic Award in Textiles. Her body of work lies in the gray area between visual art, performance, and design.
- April 24, 5:30 p.m.: Caroline Savery. Savery is a consultant, teacher and facilitator on topics of co-operative business, sustainability, and group decision-making. She is based in Pittsburgh and a cooperative business development practitioner with the Keystone Development Center. She will talk about how to start or set up small worker-owned comparatives, focusing on small tech, design and artist cooperatives.
