Artist Talk: Daniel Hesidence
Artist Talk: Daniel Hesidence
Daniel Hesidence creates his paintings out of memory and the unconscious, their abstract surfaces always balancing chaos and order, intimacy and distance, attraction and repulsion. His work proceeds in series, each picture like a miniature universe and also a suite in a larger symphony. In this talk, Hesidence will discuss his larger body of work, with a focus on his four paintings currently on view in “Neo-Abstraction: Celebrating a Gift of Contemporary Art from John and Sara Shlesinger.”

Prints and Poetry: Native American Art and Literature at the Georgia Museum of Art
Prints and Poetry: Native American Art and Literature at the Georgia Museum of Art
This event celebrates a partnership between the museum and the department of English at UGA, centered on the exhibition “Collective Impressions: Modern Native American Printmakers.” Jeffrey Richmond-Moll, curator of American art, will present an overview of the show, followed by a roundtable conversation about Indigenous poetry and artmaking with LeAnne Howe (Choctaw), Eidson Distinguished Professor in American Literature, and Christine Lasek-White, assistant director of creative writing. In spring 2021, Howe and Lasek-White worked with UGA graduate students to produce recordings of Native poetry published in the “Norton Anthology of Native Nations Poetry” (2020), which Howe edited with Joy Harjo (Muscogee) and Jennifer Elise Forester (Muscogee). These recordings complement prints in the “Collective Impressions” exhibition, and visitors can listen to the poems while inside the gallery.
This program is supported by the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts.
