Coinciding with the installation of her work colorless green ideas sleep furiously (2017), now part of SAMA’s permanent collection, Los Angeles-based sculptor Kay Whitney will speak about her practice as an artist and writer. As is evident in her use of non-traditional processes such as sewing and suspension, she has been influenced by both feminism and postmodernism. Through her use of industrial materials such as felt, steel, and aircraft cable, Whitney redefines the expectations of sculpture in large-scale abstract works that traverse the languages of art, sexuality, and mathematics. Free Tuesday hours 4 to 7 p.m. for Bexar County residents are generously funded by H-E-B.
This program will be held in-person and streamed via Zoom at 6 p.m.
Kay Whitney (b. New York, New York) lives and works in Venice, California; her exhibition career spans five decades. She has a deep connection to Texas having taught and exhibited there and where she has many close friends. She had a two-year residency at the Majestic Ranch in Boerne, Texas. Thanks to UTSA visiting artists program and the Southwest School of Art.
