The GSD welcomes visual artist Lucy Raven to deliver the fall Rouse Visiting Artist Lecture.
In this presentation, artist Lucy Raven will present materials relating to several recent moving image installations, including Ready Mix, which was commissioned by and premiered at Dia Chelsea in 2021, and Demolition of a Wall (Album 1 and Album 2), which premiered at the 2022 Whitney Biennial and at WIELS. Together, these pieces explore the properties of extreme pressure and material state change occurring respectively at a concrete plant in central Idaho and an explosives range in southern New Mexico. They form the first two sections of a trilogy of “Westerns” Raven has been developing in locations throughout the Western United States.
For the Q+A, Raven will be joined by David Joselit, Chair of the Department of Art, Film, and Visual Studies at Harvard University.
