Wall to Wall: Christopher Myers Opening Artist Talk
Advertisement
Join us for an artist talk with Christopher Myers as he explores the ideas and research behind his new site-specific commission for “Wall to Wall,” the Museum’s ongoing lobby installation series. Drawing inspiration from Birmingham’s histories of steel, labor, and land, Myers reflects on the intersections of history and mythology that shape this newly commissioned work.
Working with textiles, sculpture, and storytelling, Myers’s practice considers how collective memory and place shape contemporary art. This program offers an introduction to the exhibition and the themes that animate the artist’s new installation.
5–6pm Reception
6–7pm Artist Talk
