Artist Talk Patrick J. Reed: Distant Hammers
Join us for an intimate artist-led discussion of Patrick J. Reed’s most recent project, Distant Hammers.
Composed over the last year, Reed’s latest series of drawings investigates the connections between depictions of disaster in sixteenth-century European print culture and the aesthetics of our own contemporary ecological crisis.
Reed’s drawings speak quietly but with unearthly power. His union of designs, sketches, patterns, erasures, and text creates a new meditative vocabulary on the experience of extreme weather and our collective dreams of apocalypse. Supported by extensive historical and ecocritical research at institutes in North America and Germany, Distant Hammers dares us to imagine ourselves as part of a world that has already ended.
Saturdays 2pm-6pm and by appointment
