Coral Gables Museum of Art presents Alien Nations 2020: On Artistry and Alienation
January 9, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Saturday, January 9th from 2:00-3:30pm enjoy an ARTIST PANEL: Alien Nations 2020: On Artistry and Alienation presented by the Coral Gables Museum of Art, moderated by Exhibition Curators Yuneikys Villalonga, Chief Curator, Coral Gables Museum, and Bartholomew F. Bland, Executive Director, Lehman College Art Gallery. Join artists Eddie Arroyo, Camille Eskell, Kandy López, and Thomas Bils, and the curators from the exhibition Alien Nations 2020 for a lively 90-minute discussion of how Artistry intersects with Alienation to spark the creative impulse.
Among the timely questions that will be explored in the session are how does the enforced isolation of a pandemic shape an artist’s practice? How does the embrace of heated social justice issues spur artistic engagement? How have the chaotic events of the past year shifted the discussion of artists engaging with arts institutions? How can alienation lead to depression and a loss of creativity? How can we employ the visual arts as solace that can help heal societal alienation? This Virtual event is FREE.
