Join artists Josiah McElheny and Tavares Strachan for a conversation exploring the intersections of art and science, histories of exploration, and the ways Columbus can serve as a site for artistic inquiry. Moderated by Kris Paulsen, Associate Professor of History of Art at The Ohio State University, the conversation will consider McElheny’s collaborations with OSU faculty David Weinberg and Strachan’s The Encyclopedia of Invisibility, currently on view as part of Tavares Strachan: The Day Tomorrow Began at Columbus Museum of Art at The Pizzuti.McElheny will discuss his ongoing collaborations with David Weinberg, Distinguished University Professor and chair of the Department of Astronomy at The Ohio State University. Their collaboration began in 2004 during McElheny’s artist residency at the Wexner Center for the Arts and has explored connections between contemporary art, astronomy, and scientific inquiry. On the occasion of his solo exhibition Tavares Strachan: The Day Tomorrow Began at The Pizzuti, Strachan will reflect on the historical undercurrents that shape contemporary moments. The conversation will center on The Encyclopedia of Invisibility, including its exploration of Matthew Henson, histories of exploration, and questions of visibility and recognition.
This program is free with registration and will take place at The Ohio State University’s Wexner Center for the Arts Film/Video Theater.
