While nearly two decades later the tragedy of their deaths still looms large, what truly endures of an artist is the work they leave behind and the people whose lives they have touched.
To accompany the exhibition Against Gravity: Remembering John Jackson, the Artists Archives will host a talk and community gathering in memory of the late artist. On Saturday, February 11, 1:00 – 2:00pm, join John Jackson’s sister, Helen Zakin, as she reflects on his remarkable life and vibrant artistic practice.
The event will also feature important members of Northeast Ohio’s creative community, including Liz Maugans as well as fellow Archived Artists Mindy Tousley and Douglas Max Utter, who will share their unique insights on his work and their stirring memories.
Those who knew John are also invited to contribute their memories and stories to the conversation in a casual, community-oriented setting.
