In this virtual talk, artist Stacey Steers and assistant curator Gordon Nelson will discuss the works currently on view in the exhibition Stacey Steers: Night Reels. Join us as they stream live from the gallery for this in-depth look at the artist's practice, which blends silent cinema, surrealism, and animation to create works that are simultaneously haunting and whimsical. Attendees will be given the opportunity to submit questions for the artist during the program.
Over a professional life spanning seven decades, Edward Steichen (1879–1973) established himself as one of the most important figures in the history of photography. What is less known is that for much of that time, Steichen devoted himself to the nurturing of plants and gardens, an activity that sustained him and through which he developed ardently held beliefs regarding the relationship of art, nature, and creativity.
