[Art-mfastudio] Two visiting artists this week - you are expected to attend

[Carolyn Henne]

Hi all,
As participants in our MFA programs, you are expected to attend visiting artists lectures.  Even though these are virtual, exposure to artists works and ideas is an important component of the program - especially those of artists well outside the Tallahassee community.

Please attend.

Best,
carolyn

Join the Department of Art for a virtual artist presentation and Q&A with Dawit Petros!

Dawit L. Petros is a visual artist, researcher and educator. His work is informed by studies of global modernisms, theories of diaspora, and postcolonial studies. These concerns derive from lived experiences: Petros is the child of Eritrean emigrants, and spent formative years in Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Kenya before settling in central Canada. Petros installs photographs, moving images, sculptural objects, and sound work according to performative, painterly, or site responsive logics.

Florida State University’s Facility for Arts Research and Museum of Fine Arts is excited to welcome Jiha Moon for a virtual artist talk on February 17th at 6:00 PM EST.

Jiha Moon is from DaeGu, Korea and lives and works in Atlanta, GA. She received her MFA from the University of Iowa, Iowa City. Moon’s gestural paintings, mixed media, ceramic sculpture, and installation explore fluid identities and the global movement of people and their cultures. She says “I am a cartographer of cultures and an icon maker in my lucid worlds.” She is taking cues from wide ranges of history of Eastern and Western art, colors and designs from popular culture, Korean temple paintings and folk art, internet emoticons and icons, fruit stickers and labels of products from all over the place. She often teases and changes these lexicons so that they are hard to identify, yet stay in a familiar zone.
