El Anatsui's Marriage of Painting and Sculpture: a New Art from Africa. Talk
Conversation between the Ghanaian-born and Nigerian-based sculptor and the historian of African art, curator, filmmaker, and photographer Susan Vogel about "El Anatsui's Marriage of Painting and Sculpture: A New Art from Africa". He frequently transforms found materials such as driftwood and metals into sculptures and wall hangings, finding meaning in the power of culture and memory. His work is currently touring the United States in the retrospective exhibit "When I Last Wrote to You About Africa", curated by the Museum of African Art. He is also the subject of Susan Vogel's 2011 documentary film Fold Crumple Crush (Icarus Films). Taylor Hall room 102. Tuesday, April 24, at 6pm.
