华盛顿，宾夕法尼亚州(10月. 25, 2019)—Margi 堰的 art exhibit 见证 10月星期五开幕. 25，下午6点.m. 在华盛顿 & 澳门葡京博彩软件’s (W&J) Olin Fine Art Gallery, featuring an artist talk with Weir where she will discuss her interest in politics and its influence on her work.
堰的 见证 includes previous work from her project The Politics of Hue, which she began in 2017 after noting cultural and societal divisions in the United States following the 2016 presidential election. 见证 also includes work she crafted starting in 2014 after she lost two friends to gun violence, as well as new works she has made in response to the separation of refugee children and their parents at our southern border.
“It is often the only way that I can come to terms with things that anger me or frighten me. I have become so horrified by the level of anger and division in this country that I must take a look at it through making work about it,” Weir said in her artist statement.
In addition to her work as a studio artist, Weir is an Associate Professor of painting and drawing at Wayne State University in Detroit, 密歇根州.
见证 will be on campus through November 22 and is free and open to the public.
