Panel Discussion: “Alchemy” from Donut Muffin Sunday, March 3, 3:00–4:30 PM In conjunction with our current exhibition, Donut Muffin curated by Jessica Duffett and Tamara Gonzales, Dorsky Gallery Curatorial Programs is pleased to present: Alchemy: A panel discussion on painting, sculpture, and cooking. Moderated by Phong Bui, with artists Joe Fyfe, EJ Hauser, Clinton King and Lauren Luloff. SEATING WILL BE LIMITED | RSVP Stacy 718-937-6317 or [email protected] What is the relationship between painting and sculpture in today’s world? Closer than ever or uneasy bed-fellows? Is it even necessary to differentiate them? The presentations will highlight how the line previously separating these two disciplines has been blurred by each of these artists. The discussion will investigate shifts in medium, output, and conceptual underpinnings encompassing object-making, studio practices, life experiences, and more. And of course…donut muffins will be served.
