Carl Cheng with Danielle Dean
Past event

About

Carl Cheng’s interdisciplinary practice is driven by a longstanding interest in technology, the environment, and public spaces. Danielle Dean’s work explores the geopolitical and material processes that colonize the mind and body. In celebration of the opening of Carl Cheng: Material Behavior, Cheng and Dean will discuss their differing art practices and interests in landscape, industry, and the Anthropocene. The conversation will be moderated by exhibition curator Emily Gonzalez-Jarrett.

The program includes a public reception in the gallery between 5 PM - 7 PM and an audience Q&A following the conversation.
