University Open Air: What’s in the day to day?
*This is a two-part class--participants are welcome to attend either or both.
Part one is a conversation seen through the work of female artists and writers about all that surrounds us on our day to day. We’ll talk about our approach to the expected and predictable; our home, our work, our body, our roles in life, our image, our family, our care. And how all that surrounds us can be seen differently through these attentive and insightful practices. (about an hour)
The second part is a sculpture workshop where we’ll reinterpret ”boring” objects through sculpting and casting. (2-2.5h)
*We recommend attending both but welcome you to join as you wish. limited to 15 participants.
Michal Alpern is a New York based artist with an MFA from Columbia University and a BFA from Bezalel Academy, Jerusalem. Alpern’s practice shifts between making serieses of objects to room sized sculptures, reconciling spatial thoughts like gesture and materiality with abstractions like gender and domesticity. Her works were featured in museums and institutions in NY and Israel, including solo shows at M23 Gallery, NY, The Museum of Israeli Art, Israel and group shows at False Flag, NY and the LeRoy Neiman Center, NY.
