SUMMARY:Other-Worlding: Artist Talk by Emilie L. Gossiaux\, in Conversation with Georgina Kleege (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION: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. \nEmilie 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. \nGeorgina 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. \nCo-sponsored by Proclaiming Disability Arts. \nVisitor Access and Registration \nASL and live captions will be provided. \nIf you require captioning and ASL simultaneously\, we recommend using a laptop or desktop computer\, and not a tablet or smartphone. \nPlease email accessibility needs as they relate to this event to msf440@nyu.edu.
