Visiting Artists: Jim Campbell and Jill Sigman



Tuesday, Nov. 16
CIA welcomes Visiting Artist
Jim Campbell

5:30 pm there will be an open reception – Lobby - Gund
7 pm Artist’s Talk – Aitken Auditorium


Tuesday is a big night at the Institute as CIA welcomes Bickford and IME visiting artist Jim Campbell. I had the chance to see his work last year and it really is amazing. This is definitely a talk worth coming and ... there will be a full reception beforehand with tons of delicious food from Tommy's! (We love Tommy's on Coventry they've been really good to us.)

So check out Jim Campbell's website and the recent write up on him in New York Magazine.



Then don't forget there's still Lunch on Fridays and this week it's Jill Sigman and her talk promises to be really eye-opening.


Body, Object, Material: How I Am My Work
Choreographer and multi-media artist Jill Sigman will discuss her process and projects using her body as a tool for asking questions about the world. Sigman’s work exists at the intersection of dance, theater, and installation, and often involves quotidian materials such as Cheetos, eggshells, wax, and plastic. She is currently at work on The Hut Project, a series of site-specific structures built of found and re-purposed materials, investigating themes of sustainability, real estate, and apocalypse. www.thinkdance.org
