Lauren Kalman Exhibition and Talk
Lauren Kalman is a visual artist based in Detroit, whose practice is rooted in the history of adornment, contemporary craft, sculpture, video, photography and performance. Through her work she investigates constructions of the ideal, the politics of craft, the body, and the built environment through performances using her body.
Kalman's work will be shown in a solo exhibition in William Harris Gallery, accompanied by a public talk at 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20. The programming is made possible by the Anna Ballarian Visiting Artist Series.
Her work has been featured in exhibitions at the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Museum of Contemporary Craft, Museum of Arts and Design, Cranbrook Art Museum, Contemporary Art Museum Houston, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Mint Museum, and the World Art Museum in Beijing, among others. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, and the Detroit Institute of Art. She was recently awarded the first Burke Residency at Corning Museum of Glass.
