On Thursday, December 2, at 7 pm MDT ecoArt China curator Lisa Claypool will be in conversation with the cut paper artist Bovey Lee about her magical and fragile artworks that nonetheless embody the harsh realities of environmental crises and immigration. They will discuss what it means to be a contemporary artist working in the medium of cut paper, the stories she tells through it about departure and arrival, and her feminist commitment to exploring ways of seeing nature and Chinese culture.
About the Speaker Series
From solace to sadness, resilience to despair, ecoart has elicted many different feelings about nature. What it means to to work in the realm of ecoart has increasingly preoccupied artists in China today; they present us with images of damaged landscapes, sites of unexpected beauty, and ghostly environments. ecoArt China is a series of free talks and an online exhibition which respond to ecological crises in China and invite you to explore the big questions about art as a form of environmental activism.
