Take a look at the List’s exhibitions from a new perspective. Join Carolyn Joseph (Materials Science and Engineering Department) to discover more about Gwenneth Boelen’s use of unusual art materials.


About the Artist:
Gwenneth Boelens is concerned with processes of perception, memory, and time; throughout her work she aims to fix the traces of physical movement in space. Originally trained in photography, in her earlier work she used the antiquated wet plate collodion process, during which chemicals are distributed onto large glass plates and exposed to light. The resulting glass pieces capture the traces of her handling the plates during the process, and are displayed as sculptural installations in the space. More recently, Boelens has made a series of large-scale photograms, using various objects or textiles that are folded repeatedly over the duration of the exposure and create radiant fields of color. The show at the List, Boelens’s first solo museum exhibition, will present a group of new photographic works and woven, sculptural pieces.



About the Speaker:
Carolyn Joseph earned her master’s degree from MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering in December 2016. Her research focused on sheet aluminum production, specifically measurement of free-moving solid aluminum particles that form during ingot casting. Carolyn completed her bachelor’s degree at MIT in June 2015. In addition to academic and professional pursuits, she practices art and is involved in the arts on campus as a member of the MIT Arts Scholars.

About the Series:
Graduate Student Gallery Talks at the List present focused explorations of our current exhibitions and are led by an MIT graduate student. These interdisciplinary talks examine art through the lens of students’ research, backgrounds, and interests.


Talks are free and open to the public.
