Join us for a lecture by artist Peregrine Honig in conjunction with a related body of work on exhibit at Belger Crane Yard Studios this fall. Honig will be lecturing on the idea of public vs. private space and how it relates to both art and architecture. A social hour will be held starting at 5:30pm, with the lecture following at around 6pm; admittance is free and street parking is available. Lecture attendees are encouraged to visit Honig’s exhibition at Belger Crane Yard Studios prior to the lecture, which will run from September 18th through December 19th.
About the exhibition:
Suites is a multi-disciplinary artistic collaboration, a visually narrated response to the residual energy left behind in hotel rooms. Playing on the facade of private commercial space and exploring the sentimentality of who we are in relationship to our sexual partners and desires, Suites pulls the curtains and tips the blinds so the light doesn’t spill in. A hotel door opens gently and we witness anonymous solos, duets and threesomes. What is it to be vulnerable and expectant, willing and ready to perform, aroused and ashamed, dismissed and praised, exhausted and embarrassed, loved invisibly?
