Artist Talk: Professor John Berry

John Berry
Wednesday, March 8, 2023, 4:30pm

The paintings in Arboreta draw inspiration from the history, structures, and resilience of the Schrebergarten in Leipzig Germany, exploring the implications for how we organize our images, ourselves, and our communities. Hovering between landscape and abstraction, flat shapes compartmentalize space into different surfaces, barricades, and hiding spots. The artifice and ambiguities of spatial illusion are out in the open, weaving a seemingly wider range of frequencies into a smaller, simpler encounter. This event is free and open to the public.

Queer Crip Craft Library Nap-In

Peeler Galleries
November 15, 4:15-4:45 pm

Join us in the gallery for a nap-in. A crip spin on the civil disobedience tactic, sit-in, made famous during the civil rights movement, the nap-in is an anti-capitalist crip occupation of the gallery space. The nap-in calls on museums, galleries, and arts institutions everywhere to provide more places for rest in their spaces and make accessibility a priority, not an after-thought. Pushing back against capitalism, a system with which the art world is inextricably tied and that views our bodies as machines for production and labor, the nap-in asks you to occupy the gallery with your resting body, to revel in rest as an act of resistance. Poofs, blankets, and sleepy snacks will be provided. Feel free to wear comfy clothes, bring a pillow, and pack headphones if you'd like to listen to music or a guided meditation, or watch a tv show during the communal nap. The venue is wheelchair accessible and there will be a few furniture options for resting. All are welcome.
