ARTIST TALK | JOVENCIO DE LA PAZ
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Join us for the final talk of this series with Oregon artists recently added to the PSU Art Collection and whose work touches on themes and materials found in Louise Bourgeois: What is the Shape of This Problem, From the Collection of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation.
Jovencio de la Paz is an artist, writer, and educator. His work explores the intersection of textile processes such as weaving, dye, and stitchwork as they relate to broader concerns of language, histories of colonization, migrancy, ancient technology, and speculative futures. Interested in the ways transient or ephemeral experiences are embodied in material, de la Paz looks to how knowledge and experiences are transmitted through society in space and time, whether semiotically by language or haptically by made things. He is currently Assistant Professor and Curricular Head of Fibers at the University of Oregon.
The PSU Art Collection recently acquired six works from de la Paz, which are located in the new Vanport Building.
Seating is limited and on a first-come, first-serve basis.
