Artist Talk: Laura Letinsky

Join exhibiting artist Laura Letinsky for an in-gallery conversation about her work that is currently on display in the Smart Museum of Art’s group exhibition Smart to the Core: Medium / Image.

Although Laura Letinsky depicts the remnants of a meal in her displayed archival pigment print, Untitled #37, the medium of her work communicates something very different. Her subtle combination of magazine cutouts and images snipped from photographs including her own, along with occasional actual objects on this tablescape defamiliarizes the medium of a photograph, underlining the gap between the present image and the absent object it represents.

The artist will discuss her work in the context of the exhibition and her artistic practice followed by a Q&A session.
