PAINTING, POWER & PRESENCE: A Recontextualization for Painters, Creatives and Collectors

WITH JORDAN WOLFSON

THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 7:30 pm EST live via Zoom

WSS is pleased to welcome, for the first time, contemporary artist and teacher, Jordan Wolfson for a live, virtual talk.


The talk, PAINTING, POWER & PRESENCE: A Recontextualization for Painters, Creatives and Collectors will ask questions including, what is the deeper meaning of Painting today? When we engage in the activity of painting what exactly are we doing, how can we make it stronger, and what does it actually matter? Wolfson will be giving a talk on the history and prehistory of Two-Dimensional Handmade Image Making. He will be looking at the essential experience of Presence in Painting; what is it, how it arrives, and the urgent implications for us as contemporary painters.
