Henry L. and Natalie E. Freund Visiting Artist Lecture: Lizzie Fitch & Ryan Trecartin
Artists Lizzie Fitch and Ryan Trecartin will deliver the Henry L. and Natalie E. Freund Visiting Artist Lecture.
Fitch and Trecartin are acclaimed for a collaborative practice that fuses non-linear films with immersive installations. Rhizome-like narratives and an imploding dramaturgical logic characterize their film and video work. Protagonists embody fluid gender roles and forms of fragmented subjectivity in a buoyant clash of reality TV- and social-media identity tropes. The American duo is currently based in Athens, Ohio. They conceive of their installations as “sculptural theaters” in which viewers themselves become actors.
The lecture is free and will be delivered online via Zoom.
