Kelly Richardson: Exploring Truth, Fiction and the SublimeThis 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.

An Art Historian's Guide to Contemporary FictionThis 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.

In a city where preservation issues have taken a front seat in our cultural and social thinking, particularly during the last decade, it's never insignificant to lionize the cultural past. At Hallwalls, we revere our own past and that of our community. Since January of 2006, Hallwalls has been the main tenant of Babeville, the refurbished Delaware Asbury Church in downtown Buffalo. At the same time, Hallwalls has always been about the present moment, about current artistic impulses, and about the creation of new works. To this end, 21 Buffalo artists have accepted the invitation to participate in an exhibition of new work whose point of departure is the recently completed Gates Vascular Institute in Buffalo's downtown medical corridor. Artists working in a diverse array of media have been invited to participate—drawing, painting, photography, filmmaking, and sculpture.
