Other-Worlding: Artist Talk by Emilie L. Gossiaux, in Conversation with Georgina Kleege (Zoom)

The Center for Disability Studies and Grey Art Gallery at NYU invite you to join Emilie L. Gossiaux for a virtual artist talk in advance of her debut museum solo exhibition, “Other-Worlding”, at the Queens Museum in New York City. Gossiaux will be in conversation with Georgina Kleege, author of “More than Meets the Eye: What Blindness Brings to Art”. Gossiaux and Kleege will preview Gossiaux’s exhibit, discuss her artistic practice, and consider the ways a disabled artist’s experience can inform how museums provide access.

Emilie L. Gossiaux is a multidisciplinary artist whose works center disability pride through her investigations of the complex relationships between humans and animals in the Anthropocene, or the human-impacted world. Gossiaux’s work fosters imagination, liberation, and pleasure in opposition to the Anthropocene’s exploitative systems of capitalism and ableism. For her first museum solo exhibition, Gossiaux will create a large-scale sculptural installation that both expands upon her deep and sincere relationship with her guide dog, London, and celebrates the white cane as a symbol of freedom.

Georgina Kleege is Professor Emeritus of English at UC Berkeley. She now lives in New York City. Her recent books include: Sight Unseen, Blind Rage: Letters to Helen Keller, and More than Meets the Eye: What Blindness Brings to Art.
