Performance: Joaquín Stacey-Calle

JULY 20, 2024 | 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM | Included in Admission

Experience a durational performance by exhibiting artist Joaquín Stacey-Calle in Gallery Two of the Center Museum.

The artist will run the distance of a bread. A performance that tackles the construct of time, orientation in space, landscape representation, and the boundaries of the body from the lens of water. When we ask for a distance, we’ll probably get an answer in units of time instead of length because time implies energy and ties it back to the body. The artist explores this idea by using bread as a timer for an unknown distance within a confined space.

This foundational drawing class aims to empower the student with the confidence to sketch and present creative ideas without fear of embarrassment or inadequacy.

Workshop: Wet Felting with Yasmine K. Kasem

AUGUST 3, 2024 | 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM | $25

Wet felting is a process of creating fabric by intentionally matting fibers together using water, friction, fat, and heat. This transformative process takes layers of soft, fragile wool roving and renders them into patterns, color fields, or imagery that are strong and durable but also soft and flexible. In this workshop, learn the process of wet felting by creating textile pieces that use imagery inspired by transformative and enduring aspects of identity.
