Studio Art

Interdisciplinary artist from the Caribbean diaspora and current Cameron Visiting Artist Tiffany Smith gives a lecture on her work in photography, video, installation, and design.  Smith’s practice centers on what forms and defines communities of people of color—in particular, how they are identified and represented, and how they endure.

“Local artist Rebecca Kinkead shares her current undertaking, A Neighbor Project. After spending two months painting 250 portraits of local ‘neighbors,’ she plans to take her project around the globe exploring communities through portraiture. During her presentation Kinkead will paint a portrait of a randomly selected audience member.”

A lifelong fascination with waterfront cultures and topographies has led Duke Riley to explore nautical history and the marginalized inhabitants of borderland regions in his art. Working as a fine artist and tattooist, Riley stages performances, installations, and videos that reenact historic moments in a contemporary context. Shorelines and areas where the land meets the water have typically been associated with crime, disease, danger, and people on the fringes of society, especially in urban landscapes.

Join us for a lecture and Q&A by Brazilian artist Néle Azevedo.  She will be discussing her installation Minimum Monument: Art as Emergency.

Brazilian artist Néle Azevedo brings her internationally known “Minimum Monument” event to Middlebury. With help from students, faculty, staff and members of the Middlebury community, she will install 300+ ice sculptures (little men and women) outside Davis Library. And then we will leave them to melt… or will we? A visual metaphor for climate change, Azevedo’s work challenges the traditional meaning of the public monument: “in the place of the hero, the anonym; in the place of the solidity of the stone, the ephemeral process of the ice.” A community event not to be missed.
