Week 9: Spring Break

Talk Monday, March 5, 5:30, Highly Recommended

Please attend if you can the lecture by Berlin based artist Claudia Chaseling on Monday, March 5, 5:30pm, Wright Gallery, Langford Center A.  Claudia Chaseling is a painter working in large scale on canvas, walls/floors and objects, and in small scale on photos and in cartoon stories. Her central theme is landscape, how vast space and the dynamics of a place can be captured in interiors through color, without using parameters like horizon lines or central perspective, which could supply a quick orientation. Through cartoons, expressionistic and fictional elements her work expands into a psychological landscape. Claudia Chaseling is based in Berlin, Germany. She works and exhibits internationally in Europe, Australia and the US.  This counts as one of the three talks you need to attend this semester.
