Jessica Jackson Hutchins - Visiting Artist Lecture Series (VALS) 2018
January 11th, 2018
6:30 - 8:00 pm
Place: Contemporary Art Center (CAC), Colloquium Room 3201, UC Irvine
Please join us for an evening with Jessica Jackson Hutchins, the first of our UCI Visiting Artist Lecture Series, (VALS) 2018. Lecture begins at 6:30 sharp in the Colloquium Room, 3201 in the Contemporary Art Center (CAC). Light refreshments to follow.
Jessica Jackson Hutchins (b. 1971) lives and works in Portland, Oregon. Hutchins’ expressive and intuitive studio practice produces dynamic sculptural installations, collages, paintings, and large-scale ceramics, all hybrid juxtapositions of the handmade. As evidence of the artist’s dialogue with items in her studio, these works are a means by which the artist explores the intimacy of the mutual existence between art and life. Her transformations of everyday household objects, from furniture to clothing, are infused with human emotion and rawness, and also show a playfulness of material and language that is both subtle and ambitious. Based upon a willingly unmediated discourse between artist, artwork and viewer, Hutchins’ works ultimately serve to refigure an intimate engagement with materiality and form.
