Artist Talk and Reception: Kenneth Steinbach

On view: November 7-December 20, 2019
Artist Talk and Reception: November 13, 6pm, Eastlund Room

On November 13, 2019 at 6pm, artist Kenneth Steinbach will present about his latest installation, Real Time and Full Scale. This is the latest work by Kenneth Steinbach in an ongoing series of large scale installations that reinterprets the idea of the Mappa Mundi (map of the known world) a European cartographic system from the Middle Ages that attempted to diagram the entire cosmos, including geographical, mythological and spiritual realms into a single cohesive map. Working within a contemporary Midwestern material vernacular, Real Time and Full Scale reinvents common approaches to landscape, architecture and mapping to explore expressive and metaphorical possibilities. 

A reception will follow in the Johnson Gallery.
