Frozen Warnings: Richard Barlow and Anne Elizabeth Moore in Conversation [Online]
Fri, Oct 23, 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
In conjunction with Richard Barlow’s immersive chalk drawing installation at Bushel for the exhibition FROZEN WARNINGS, Bushel is pleased to host an online event, featuring a conversation between Barlow and cultural critic Anne Elizabeth Moore.
Barlow’s chalk drawings, while ephemeral, speak directly to such matters as commercialization and climate change. Moore, who has watched the artist’s work grow over nearly four decades, will speak to Barlow about his pop culture and art historical influences, his work as a musician, and his misspent Midwestern youth.
The event will take place via Zoom. Please join us here (this link will be live 5 minutes before the start time.)
Conversations can continue the following morning for a special open hours at Bushel, Saturday, October 24, 10 am–12 noon, for a look at the FROZEN WARNINGS exhibition, and a sidewalk coffee reception for Barlow and Moore.
