CRCA is proud to host a lunchtime talk with Chicago-based artist Lincoln Schatz. We invite you to come by Thursday, Nov. 10 at 12:30pm to hear Mr. Schatz discuss his latest artwork.
Schatz is interested in perception and the way we interpret images of our lives. His interactive video-memory works aim to place the viewer in the nexus of shared experience, dissolving their assumptions and expectations to reveal new layers and complexity. The work thrives by absorbing images from its environments over extremes of time, nourished by the possibilities of its surroundings.
Schatz’s exhibition COLLISION opens at Quint Contemporary Art Gallery in La Jolla, California, November 11, 2005. He will be showing three new interactive memory based video works. Each piece provides a unique view of ideas about perception, self and time. For more information about the work and the exhibition, visit www.lincolnschatz.com/Quint.mov
This will be CRCA’s first of many lunchtime artist talks presented at our new location in the brand new Calit2 building. For maps and directions please visit the following link: http://crca.ucsd.edu/views.php?id=5
