Artists Talk with Ernest Arthur Bryant III
at the Wignall Museum at Chaffey College
Rancho Cucamonga, CA - Chaffey College and the Wignall Museum are pleased to present an artist’s lecture with Minneapolis-based artist Ernest Arthur Bryant III on Monday, March 2, 12:30 - 1:30 p.m. in the Wignall Museum Project Space. Bryant, who exhibited work from his series Trick Baby at the Wignall Museum August -September, 2008 will speak about his art work and evolution as an artist, curator and performance artist. Bryant is the recipient of the Bush Foundations Artist Fellowship, the MCAD/Jerome Emerging Artist Fellowship and has exhibited his work in group and solo exhibitions throughout the Midwest. Bryant has also curated a number of group exhibitions including AFROFUTURISM at Spaces Gallery, Cleveland, OH and Soap Factory, Minneapolis, MN and (FLASH MOB) at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN.
Bryant will speak in conjunction with the exhibition on view, Raised in Craftivity from January 26 – March 7, 2009. Raised in Craftivity is an exhibition of contemporary artists working in craft media that celebrate, challenge and subvert our expectations of these media and the cultures with which they are associated. Traditionally disdained as “feminine,” “domestic,” and “amateur,” today embroidery, ceramics, beadwork, knitting, and woodworking are embraced by emerging gallery artists who explore the rich social and historical associations of these craft media and techniques. Artists include: Jon Bonser, Elaine Bradford, Orly Cogan, Maggy Rozycki Hiltner, Carolyn Hopkins, KnittaPlease, Garth Johnson, Claire Joyce, KnittaPlease, Kate Kretz, Heather Nameth-Bren, Karen Reimer, Ben Schachter, DeAnna Skedel, and Laura Splan.
The exhibition, talk and reception are free and open to the public. The Wignall Museum is an important part of the educational programs and mission of Chaffey College. Parents are always encouraged to view the show prior to sharing with children.
