Talk | Artist Sheila Pope DIscusses Received Knowledge, Opinions, & Taste


Enjoy a talk with Sheila Pepe, who is best known for crocheting her large-scale, ephemeral installations and sculptures made from domestic and industrial materials.  For more than 30 years, she has accumulated a family resemblance (see Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations) of works in sculpture—installation—drawing, and other singular and hybrid forms. Some are drawings that are sculpture—or sculpture that is furniture, fiber works that appear as paintings, and table top objects that look like models for monuments, and stand as votives for a secular religion. The cultural sources and the meanings twisted together are from canonical arts of the 20th century, home crafts, lesbian, queer, and feminist aesthetics, 2nd Vatican Council American design, an array of Roman Catholic sources, as well as their ancient precedents. The constant conceptual pursuit of Pepe’s research, making, teaching, and writing has been to contest received knowledge, opinions, and taste.
