ADULT CLASSES + WORKSHOPS
After Church Coffee + Artist Lecture
Intersect Arts Center + Mezzo Gallery + Holy Cross Lutheran Church Present an artist lecture with artist in residence Maria Fee entitled: “(Spirit) The Unseen Person: Contemporary Art as Cultural Vessels of the Spirit.”Featuring the works of Hispanic/Latin@ artists and theologians, the discussion highlights a politics of representation, and art’s power to elevate or exclude. It covers the Spirit’s reviving force mediated through artmaking, rituals, and other aesthetic and embodied experiences.
The lecture explores how art participates as a vessel for God’s empowering presence via the Spirit found in the ethnic/racial other, the discarded, those seen and unseen.
Where: Mezzo Gallery- 3617 Texas Ave (across the street from Intersect)
When: Doors open at 12:15 with light refreshments. Lecture at 1:00
This event is free, no registration required. All are welcome!
Intersect is delighted to announce Maria Fee, an artist and academic from California, joining us for a three week residency. Maria will create an installation for our fall exhibition Seen and Unseen.In connection with the upcoming exhibition Seen and Unseen, workshop participants will work with Maria to create three-dimensional paper sculptures.
The project investigates and imagines what home, shelter, or sanctuary look and feel like. It helps us imagine or express what it means to be without home, or make a new home. Together we will play, reflect, and envision a city, a new creation made from and stimulated by diverse peoples and cultures.
Creations will be exhibited in the art installation Permeable Frontiers by Maria Fee, as part of the exhibition Seen and Unseen.
This workshop is free, but registration is required
Maria Fee is an artist with an M.F.A. in Painting, M.A. in Theology, and a Ph.D. in Theology and Culture.
