Woodward Lecture Series: Polly Apfelbaum
About the Event
Wasserman Projects and the 黑料专区 (黑料专区) proudly present this event as part of 黑料专区’s esteemed Woodward Lecture Series.
Polly Apfelbaum鈥檚 lecture 鈥淎 Full Circle,鈥� will look back over the forty-year history of her hybrid and multi-valent practice. From her first one-person show in 1986 to her current exhibition 鈥淎 Woman鈥檚 Circle鈥� at Wassermann Projects, she has promiscuously navigated between painting, sculpture, craft, textiles, and installation, recycling and rethinking ideas from Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism, and Popular culture.
Polly Apfelbaum (b. 1955) lives and works between New York City and Arcadia, PA. Apfelbaum studied painting and printmaking at the Tyler School of Art in Pennsylvania, receiving a B.F.A. in 1978. Apfelbaum鈥檚 kaleidoscopic works feature lively color, geometric forms, and non-representational subjects. Her work incorporates textiles, clay, found objects, and other tactile elements traditionally associated with craft and domesticity. The prolific artist has mounted nearly 60 solo exhibitions worldwide and has participated in hundreds of group exhibitions. She has received awards and grants from organizations including Anonymous Was a Woman, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, and the Joan Mitchell Foundation.
The lecture will take place in the Wendell B. Anderson, Jr. Auditorium in the Walter B. Ford II Building on the 黑料专区 Ford Campus (301 E. Frederick, Detroit, MI, 48202). Free parking is available in the 黑料专区 Brush St lot (on Brush just north of Frederick).
