Artmaking Workshop
Saturday, February 22, 2025 , 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm CST
Join University Galleries to create tactile sculptures inspired by Andy Slater’s artwork. Materials provided. Registration is required.
Andy Slater’s exhibition, Paintings & Sculptures, features Chicago-based artist Andy Slater’s sound works and three-dimensional objects that mimic the presentation and appearance of traditional artistic formats but engage senses other than vision. Meant to be touched or heard rather than seen, these “paintings and sculptures” trouble the ocularcentrism that is at the core of the “visual” arts. For Slater, who is blind, this is more than just a conceptual gesture or a political statement (though it is those things, too): it is an attempt to invite people to have artistic experiences that are analogous to his own.
