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: When We Crack

3 - 4:30 pm CST | CAC Black Box Theater / Boardroom One (online)

A discussion around the breaking points of our realities and society, how these artists have addressed systemic failures and the spectrum of failure that drives progress. 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: Susan Lee-Chun, Antonia Wright, Leon Ford, Octavia Yearwood, Eddie Arroyo, Joseph Cuillier. RSVP Now
