Join us this Saturday at 12:00 PM for a special walkthrough of Lucy + Jorge Orta’s solo exhibition from root to rain, led by Daniel S. Palmer, PhD, chief curator at the SCAD Museum of Art.
For more than three decades, Lucy + Jorge Orta’s collaborative practice has developed one of the most rigorous and sustained artistic investigations into the entanglements of ecology, community, and survival, situating art as both witness to and participant in planetary change. Employing a diversity of media including installation, painting, textiles, video, and more, the artists translate scientific research and data into poetic visual forms.
Daniel S. Palmer is chief curator at the SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah, Georgia. Previously he was curator at Public Art Fund, New York, where he organized 20 exhibitions. Prior to this, he served as the Leon Levy Assistant Curator at the Jewish Museum, New York, and as curatorial research assistant at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Palmer has curated numerous exhibitions independently and contributes writing to many artist monographs, publications, and journals including ARTnews, The New York Times, Mousse, and Kaleidoscope, among others. He holds a PhD and MPhil in art history from the CUNY Graduate Center and a BA from Rutgers University.
The event is free and open to the public. We hope to see you there!
