Sonya Rapoport Event at Mills College
FEB 12, 2012OBJECTS ON MY DRESSER: ARTIST TALK AND PERFORMANCE1:00–3:00 PM, Mills College, ART MUSEUM
This performance with Dr. Revathi is an updating of Rapoport’s original collaboration with psychologist Winifred de Vos.
As part of MCAM’s current exhibition, Spaces of Life: The Art of Sonya Rapoport, Sonya Rapoport and Dr. Revathi Vikram,psychiatrist, come together to explore the artist's memories of her past work and the life experiences that give her work context. Central to this discussion is Rapoport’s ongoing work Objects On My Dresser: Shared Dynamics, an interactive “netweb plot” from which connections between symbols, words and ideas are made. Over the course of the exhibition, gallery visitors have been invited to participate in this work by manipulating and customizing a new “netweb plot.” Dr. Revathi will analyze the recorded actions and motivations that have created this new plot in an effort to determine acollective Mills consciousness.

One on One with Squeak Carnwath
Vija Celmins: Blackboard Tableau #1, 2007-10
On Thursday evening, February 2 at 6:30, Squeak will be at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to participate in the museum’s One On One gallery talks. “Get a singular take on a work of art each Thursday evening as one artist, curator, or specialist shares a perspective on one artwork.” From January 26 through March, past winners of the SECA Art Award will discuss works by other artists on view at SFMOMA.
In 1980 Squeak received the SECA Art Award. On Thursday she will talk for 20 minutes about one of her favorite pieces, Vija Celmins’ Blackboard Tableau #1 (pictured above). Please join her at 6:30 in the Haas Atrium (ground floor, main entrance) before moving into the gallery.
If you go to SFMOMA for Squeak’s One On One gallery talk, or for any other reason before April 3, 2012, be sure to see Fifty Years of Bay Area Art: The SECA Awards, which includes a painting Squeak did in 1979, My Own Ghost #3 (Small Songs #2), as well as a 4-minute video in which Squeak “details the process of making her paintings and considers the ways viewers might approach her work.” There are lots of other artworks and videos of artists in the exhibition as well.
For more information about upcoming shows and other places to see the artwork of Squeak Carnwath, please visit her website at www.SqueakCarnwath.com and look for her calendar.
