Artists Jia-Jen Lin and Jonas Nobel will talk about their work and research.

About

Jia-Jen Lin will speak about humanity’s experience of displacement, self-consciousness and loss and how memories change with the passing of time. Using her personal experience as a point of departure, she employs her body and mind as a platform to process materials drawn from her own life. She will present several past works and works in progress to illustrate her ongoing investigation into hybrid cultures and shifting identities.

Jonas Nobel will speak about his collaboration in Uglycute, a design and architect collective. Uglycute has produced a broad range of projects in different contexts around the world, by focusing on the surroundings of the actual work of art or product, rather than the work itself. Uglycute’s practice also addresses ways of production and sharing knowledge through workshops, several of which Nobel will discuss in his talk.

This program is supported, in part, by IASPIS – The Swedish Arts Grants Committee’s International Programme for Visual Artists, Ministry of Culture, Taiwan, New York City Council District 34, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council and New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

This event is free and open to the public.
