unbuiltroads: TODAY! Artist Talk—Matt Keegan 12/8/11, 6-7 p.m.Morton Auditorium Exposure: Matt Keegan, Katie Paterson, Heather Rasmussen Matt Keegan’s site-specific installation grew out of the artist’s longstanding fascination with cities. Focusing on Chicago and New York, Keegan creates a meandering visual conversation with sculptures, annotated artist’s books, and seemingly random photographs mounted on sheet-metal panels painted the standard-issue color of municipal bridges in Chicago. These works remind us not only of the constant dialogue between the cities but also their constant flux.  http://www.artic.edu/aic/calendar/event?EventID=9398

She is less interested in what the camera is pointing at than in guiding the viewer’s attention to the fundamental act of looking. Her newest series, …and to draw a bright white line with light., was created for this exhibition, and will be contextualized by two earlier series that engage in such attentive looking.The exhibition will be on view in the Bucksbaum Gallery (188-189) through August 14, 2011.
