Join visting artist Marjorie Van Cura for an evening presentation on her studio practice.
Marjorie Van Cura was born in Madison, Wisconsin, and grew up in central Massachusetts. She earned her BFA from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and MFA from the University of Pennsylvania. Her imagery is inspired by aerial news photography – those hyper-detailed, dizzying landscapes of natural disaster aftermaths, drought and deforestation, and the controlled chaos of construction sites.
Van Cura's work is driven by a curiosity about the evolving relationship between science, technology, and the natural world – and the ways these systems shape, disrupt, and inform one another. She is attracted to the idea of contradictory and incongruous dualities that can coexist such as chaos/order, natural/artificial, entropy/regeneration.
Free and open to the public; refreshments served.
