INFOCUS LECTURE WITH DEB SOKOLOW

Join us for our InFocus Lecture Series with Deb Sokolow on The Blurry Line Between Fact and Fiction on Sunday, September 22nd, 3- 4:30 pm.

For the ongoing EAC series, "In Focus," Sokolow will give a lecture that recounts her experiences, including freedoms and problems, in making art that blurs the line between fact and fiction. Topics to be discussed, among others, include McDonald’s, Frank Lloyd Wright, Jim Jones, master illusionist David Copperfield, a former mayor of Chicago, the Chicago Tribune, and an unnamed starchitect.

Deb Sokolow is an artist and writer whose semi-fictitious drawings speculate both comically and critically on a number of subjects including architecture, politics, shadowy organizations and the human psyche. Her work has been included in the 4th Athens Biennale (Athens, Greece), the 5th Chicago Architecture Biennial and in exhibitions at Museum für Gegenwartskunst (Siegen, Germany), Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven, Netherlands), Drawing Center (New York) and Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art (Hartford). Drawings have appeared in BOMB Magazine, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s Best American Comics and Phaidon’s Vitamin D2. Collections include Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, and Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. She received an MFA from School of the Art Institute, Chicago and a BFA from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Sokolow, whose studio is based in Chicago, is a recipient of an Artadia award, two Illinois Arts Council visual arts fellowships and is Associate Professor of Instruction in the department of Art Theory and Practice at Northwestern University.
