Visual Arts

Natalia Zuluaga, currently based in Miami FL, is visiting Kentucky as a Critic-In-Residence, a two-month residency program organized though Great Meadows Foundation in partnership with INhouse.

After majoring in journalism at the University of Central Florida, Zuluaga studied photography, receiving an MFA from Florida International University in 2007. In 2015 she graduated with an MA in Curatorial Studies, from the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College, Annandaleon- Hudson, NY.

Much recent scholarship has stressed the critical potential of craft, frequently utilizing feminist and queer methodologies to address the ways in which craft engages issues of gender. This symposium explores how the politics of craft are framed, preserved, deconstructed, revised, and reimagined today, and how artists deploy the unique properties of their chosen materials to resist gender binaries and hierarchies.

This work investigates spaces and objects most often overlooked but serve specific roles in our daily routines. I am fascinated by the clues they can offer to the more complete context of how a space is used by an individual.

Join Museum staff on the second Wednesday of each month as we continue our examination of artworks currently in storage. We’ll discuss the artist, their career, and how the work fits into our permanent collection. Feel free to bring a brown bag lunch.

Tate Foley's research focuses on phonetics and phonology. Through a blend of traditional and contemporary printmaking techniques, the work in this exhibition explores ideas of language and protest, spirituality, and race.

PRINT SALE

After a spirited 4-day printmaking workshop with over 100 participants, the UK Art Museum is ready to share wonderful and experimental prints that might be just what you are looking for to enliven your home or office. Made by adults and children, trained and self-taught, all of the artists have created colorful monoprints (one of a kind paintings on plexiglass transferred to paper; see examples above) and lively Risograph prints and folded zines (made using a unique copier that produces silkscreen stencil-like results.
