Come together for a close look and conversation with internationally renowned multimedia artist Ghada Amer as she gives an artist walk through of the adaptation of her artwork Women’s Qualities (2001) at Lot Lab.
This program is free and open to the public. Registration is recommended.
Born in Cairo, Egypt in 1963, Ghada Amer currently lives and works between New York and Paris and has exhibited among others at the Venice Biennale, the Sydney Biennale, the Whitney Biennale, and the Brooklyn Museum.
Amer’s work addresses first and foremost the ambiguous, transitory nature of the paradox that arises when searching for concrete definitions of east and west, feminine and masculine, art and craft. Through her paintings, sculptures, and public garden projects, Amer takes traditional notions of cultural identity, abstraction, and religious fundamentalism and turns them on their heads.
