Hi everyone,
I hope you are well. On behalf of the team, I would like to warmly invite you to join us this evening (7PM ET / 4PM PT) for Considering Art : Considering Everyday | Liam Mertens.
The work of
Liam Mertens is influenced by popular culture, cinema and colour theory. Simplicity is at the core, as he monumentalizes memories of the everyday. In the studio, Mertens taps into moments from his past through researching music, advertisements, films and cultural events. The personal moments that come to the fore through this process are of the everyday, however, the emotional weight has shifted through being collaged and enlarged in the studio.
In this tour, we embark on some close looking.
We ask: What do you see?
Register below for your FREE e-TICKET(s) and join us LIVE Wednesdays at 7PM ET / 4PM PT
