Erik Sanner Artist Talk & Workshop
Collaboration with Technology and Other Humans
Wednesday, January 27, 2016
10 to 11:50 am
W857
You can imagine everything that has ever existed or will exist. How do you access that capability? Much of my work comes into being only after other minds have coaxed me to view a project from a different perspective or try another approach altogether. Any situation in which you can involve other people (or smart machines) is ripe for an alternative type of exploration to sequestering yourself in your studio alone. Why be a hermit all the time?
This talk and workshop is for Art and New Media students. It is FREE but registration is required. Please register with Sarah Hilliard in W660 or via email: sarah.hilliard@uleth.ca.
Erik Sanner is a visual artist living and working in NYC. He has recently exhibited at the Katonah Museum of Art (NY), the MLB Fan Cave (NYC), Tria Gallery (NYC), the Courtauld Institute of Art (London), the Danforth Museum (Massachusetts), LICHT FELD (Basel) and Carmichael Gallery (LA). Sanner’s overarching goals include expanding our experience of painting by utilizing technology, promoting awareness of traffic cone aesthetics, and collaborating with artists and non-artists alike to realize projects no individual would have imagined or executed without sharing their visions and cooperating.
Erik is also giving a talk with the Crossing Boundaries Speaker Series called Chance, Choice and Original Systems of Art-Making at the Dr. Foster James Penny Building on Thursday, January 28 at 7 pm.
