Visiting Painter, Sculptor, Musicians to Share Talents at UMaine
Four creative guests will take part in this semester’s University of Maine Intermedia MFA Program’s Visiting Artist Lecture Series.
Painter Dudley Zopp will lecture at 7 p.m. Oct. 29 at the Innovative Media Research and Commercialization Center (IMRC). His installations constructed with builder’s paper, paintings and found materials transport viewers through geological and cultural history.
New York-based dance and music artist Miguel Gutierrez will perform at 7 p.m. Nov. 9 in Class of 1944 Hall. Eva Yaa Asantewaa of Dance Magazine called him “one of our most provocative and necessary artistic voices.”
Italian composer, author and musicologist Luciano Chessa will perform at 7 p.m. Nov. 11 in Minsky Recital Hall and lecture at 7 p.m. Nov. 12 at the IMRC. His research focuses on 20th century and experimental music.
Sculptor Joe Winter will lecture at 7 p.m. Dec. 5 at the IMRC. He repurposes familiar technological systems for his creations, including pianos going in circles and telephones that talk only to each other.
