Kelly Richardson: Exploring Truth, Fiction and the Sublime
This lecture will discuss the work of Canadian-born video artist Kelly Richardson in conjunction with the upcoming exhibition Kelly Richardson: Legion, a major mid-career survey of the artists’ work.  Richardson, who has received numerous accolades for her unique part-real/part-imagined landscapes, explores simultaneity, affect, and the use of cinematic language to create wavering hybrids of fact and fiction that function as visual metaphors for modern “reality” and question our place in the natural world.

Yvonne Widenor, adjunct professor
An Art Historian's Guide to Contemporary Fiction
This lecture will be an overview of recent fiction written about artists or particular artworks. While Dan Brown made a name for himself with reinterpretations of the works of Leonardo da Vinci and the symbols contained within early American architecture in Washington, D.C, there are a number of other authors who delve into the lives and works of artists throughout the ages. The writing of Tracy Chevalier, Susan Vreeland, Luanne Rice, and others will be discussed. Audience participation will be encouraged.
