This week’s Friday Conversations @ 11 hosts artist Richard Lerman.
Nowhere to Hide presents the work of three artists who live in Phoenix and have explored definitions of sustainability in their multi-media artworks. Their approaches range from photography to sound sculpture and gouache paintings.
The event begins at 11 a.m. at the ASU Art Museum.
Lerman is a well-known sound artist whose work often explores the inevitable trade-offs in our interaction with the land, how even green systems and solutions impact our environment.
Carrie Marill has created a series of gouache paintings that represent environmental problems and solutions brought on and devised by humans. All of the artists in the exhibition grapple with issues of personal responsibility and control, sustainable systems that inevitably require compromise and the complex, global challenges of humans living on earth.
