Jessica Hemmings is revisiting a number of personal interests that have gained increasing importance to her own thinking in recent years: academic silence surrounding failure; the value of solitary thinking in the midst of our current collaborative era; and a newfound enthusiasm she has for the importance of small research claims.
Konstfack Art Department Lecture Series presents Amy Sillman who will give a newly written talk on her "principles for painting" which can also be said to be an "ethics of tactility".
For more than four decades Himid has created paintings, drawings and installations that uncover and celebrate marginalised histories, figures, and forms cultural expression. Her work frequently references art history and the so-called canon as a means to address the invisibility of the black body in the Western pictorial tradition.
