Artist Talk with Polly Apfelbaum at the Kemper Museum + Cash Bar

Presented by Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art at Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art

RSVP on Eventbrite: https://kempermuseum-apfelbaum-talk.eventbrite.com

Active since the mid-1980s, Apfelbaum uses found materials associated with craft traditions to create sculptural objects and sprawling, floor-based installations. With awareness of how her floor-based installations draw from classic traditions of fine art, Apfelbaum defines staining and dyeing as acts of painting; cutting, a way of drawing in space; and assembling the cut pieces a sculptural practice. Expanding in recent years to focus on the site specificity of her work, Apfelbaum creates immersive environments that continue her interest in the cultural aspects of color and multi-sensory experience, transforming entire spaces with correlated objects including painted walls, wallpaper, ceramic wall plaques, hand-woven rugs, and intimately scaled and suspended ceramic beads.
