Join Terry R. Myers in conversation with LA-based contemporary artist Kori Newkirk, whose practice and body of work center around ideas of dynamic conceptual space, science, history, and socio-economic truths. Newkirk transforms everyday materials into artwork that illuminates aspects of human existence. Myers and Newkirk will discuss the artist’s studio practice, and past and future projects. After the talk, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and comment on the discussion.
