Panelists are exhibiting artist Marley Freeman, art critic Noah Dillon and the exhibition’s curator, Terri C Smith.
The event is free and open to the public and will take place at Franklin Street Works on Thursday from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
The panel will share observations about how painting’s histories, forms and materiality relate to the works in the exhibition. In preliminary email discussions preparing for the event, the panelists have touched on topics such as how other forms of art production influence painting and vice versa, painting’s role as a tool in conceptual art and performance, and how some of the works in “About Like So” highlight the action of a painting’s creation and its development as image.
“About Like So: The Influence of Painting” is on view at Franklin Street Works through Sunday, Feb. 22.
It features works that use paint in unorthodox ways or bypass the medium all together to reveal how the “language of painting” can invade, obstruct and enhance other mediums.
Exhibiting artists include Polly Apfelbaum, Paul Branca, Taylor Davis, Tim Davis, Marley Freeman, Ragnheiour Gestsdottir, Michael Graeve, Dave Hardy, Alex Hubbard, John Knuth, Sophy Naess, Tameka Norris, Peter Nowogrodzki/Max Kotelchuck, Seth Price, Paul Theriault, Brad Tucker, Siebren Versteeg, Augustus Thompson, Leslie Wayne, "in actu: music and painting" (K.R.H. Sonderborg, Wolfgang Hannen, Günter Christmann and Paul Lovens).
This exhibition is sponsored, in part, by the Fairfield County Community Foundation.
