Interactive Sculpture: Sinisa Kukec, Sympathy for the Stone
11 am - 1 pm | CAC Warehouse
Before the panel discussion begins, help create a new work of art! Sympathy For The Stone (2022) is a time-based, interactive sculpture relying heavily on active viewer participation, that encourages visitors to (responsibly) throw stones at a large-scale sculpture composed of 19 hexagonal aluminum mirrors, based on The James Webb Space Telescope. The sculpture will be set up inside the CAC's warehouse, with entry through our Black Box Theater.
Panel Discussion: Environment of Failure
1 - 2:30 pm | CAC Black Box Theater
A discussion about the environments we exist in, either constructed conditions or natural surroundings, that perpetuate a cycle of failure, for better or worse. The discussion will be moderated by Alpesh Kantilal Patel, author of Productive Failure and Associate Professor at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture, Temple University. Featured #fail artists include: Cara Despain, Dawn DeDeaux, Shana M. griffin, Juana Valdes, Micol Hebron, Nathalie Alfonso. RSVP Now
