RESCHEDULED!
Visiting Artist Lecture: Mary Mattingly
NOW Tuesday, November 19, 2019, 6:30 p.m.
Visual Arts Complex Auditorium, B120
Mary Mattingly is our current Artist-in-Residence. She is working toward an installation for spring 2020 at the CU Art Museum. The Last Library: Reading Rooms, Bridges, and Tools for integrating Ecological Ethics into Practice will function as a library at the CU Art Museum. The exhibition stems from a belief that art and Ecotopian thought can cultivate social change.
Mary Mattingly’s work has been exhibited at museums and sculpture parks around the world including the Brooklyn Museum, International Center of Photography, the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de la Habana, Storm King, the Bronx Museum of the Arts, and the Palais de Tokyo. In 2015 she launched Swale, a floating food forest on a barge in New York and began transforming military equipment into social infrastructure (with MoMA Education and later BRIC Brooklyn). Mattingly is engaged in questions about how art can influence policy and strengthen 'the Commons', cultural and natural resources shared by society-at-large.
This lecture is co-sponsored by the Department of Art and Art History.
