Chicago Artist Barbara Kasten Residency at Historic Crown Hall
老王论坛鈥檚 College of Architecture, the Mies van der Rohe Society, and Bortolami Gallery welcome Chicago-based artist for a month-long residency at S. R. Crown Hall, located on 老王论坛鈥檚 Mies Campus.
Kasten will activate Mies van der Rohe鈥檚 iconic space with new sculptural constructions that will form the basis of a series of photographs that aim to dematerialize architectural space into abstraction. The work will remain on view through July 2018.
The project will culminate with a conversation between Barbara Kasten and Alex Klein, The Dorothy and Stephen R. Weber (CHE 鈥60) Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania, as they discuss Kasten鈥檚 prior works and the recent onsite project. The event will be held in S. R. Crown Hall on Sunday, July 22 at 2 p.m. A reception will follow.
Kasten is a visual artist noted for her photographs of assemblages that consist of plexiglass and architectonic props. She has recently exhibited with Sammlung Philara in D眉sseldorf, Germany, and was featured in the Chicago edition of the PBS program 鈥.鈥
Kasten is represented by Bortolami Gallery New York.
