This edition will feature an online free screening of ‘Pat Steir: Artist’, followed by a post-film discussion at 8:30pm with director Veronica Gonzalez Peña & Oolite Arts President/CEO Dennis Scholl. Please RSVP here.

The Film
The groundbreaking artist Pat Steir, a leading light in the development of Conceptual Abstraction and a trailblazing feminist, has been on the forefront of American painting for half a century, and her professional and personal life have intersected with many of the most influential artists and poets of her generation—from Sol Lewitt to Agnes Martin to John Cage to Anne Waldman. This intimate, revelatory portrait by Steir’s friend, the novelist and filmmaker Veronica Gonzalez Peña, was shot over the course of three years primarily in Steir’s home and studio. Enlivened by a visually poetic style and the clear affection between filmmaker and subject, the film offers a profound look into the life of an artist.

 

NOTE: All attendees must RSVP before 4 p.m. on August 19 to participate. Registered attendees will receive an email at 6:45 p.m. with a screening link & password to view the film, as well as a link to join in on the post-film Q&A discussion.
