About this Event
The Weitzman Department of Fine Arts at the University of Pennsylvania and the Institute of Contemporary Art are pleased to present an artist lecture and presentation with Catherine Telford-Keogh.
This free public lecture is part of a series that gathers distinguished artists, activists, writers, and disruptors whose work engages with the social and cultural themes of our time.
About the Artist
Catherine Telford Keogh (b. Toronto, Canada; lives and works in New York) is an interdisciplinary artist working with sculpture, installation, and contingent materials. Her practice investigates how materials are held, crushed, preserved, and dissolved within systems of extraction and circulation, tracing how they resist and rewrite the orders imposed upon them. Sculpture functions as a way of thinking with materials across incompatible scales and disjunctive temporal registers.
Support
The Master of Fine Arts program at Penn is focused on the professional development of visual artists. Through workshops, seminar courses, international residency opportunities and interactions with curators, writers and artists, the program provides an open intellectual framework to foster independent methods of artistic research.
Programming at ICA is made possible in part by the Emily and Jerry Spiegel Fund to Support Contemporary Culture and Visual Arts and the Lise Spiegel Wilks and Jeffrey Wilks Family Foundation. Public and Student Engagement at ICA is supported by the Bernstein Public Engagement Fund, Suzanne Weiss Doft & Jacob W. Doft, Stacey & Robert Goergen Jr., Hilarie L. & Mitchell Morgan, the Nash Family Foundation, Joline & David Stemerman, and by Dana McDonald Strong & Mark W. Strong.
