Event Details - Visiting Artist Talk

Sharon Bates invents fantastic, imaginary assemblages and site-specific installations, mostly composed of real objects that she has collected and inventoried for years. She arranges many of these collections into “taxonomies”, families of similar things, that appear to have some obscure, historical utility. Bates often reconfigures previously assembled pieces for different settings, creating new works and renaming them. In addition to her sculptural work, she has produced a large body of black and white drawings she has organized in groups of “animals, vegetables and minerals”. Sharon will be on campus this summer to work alongside Patrick Casey in the Skidmore Print Shop to create her first artist print.
