Join us for a night of space and video with 2013-2014 fellowship artists Amy Ho and Ben Bigelow. Kala’s Fellowship Program includes an annual series of public programs presented by current Fellows during their studio residencies. This talk kicks off our 2014 series. It is free of charge and open to the public.
The Space We Inhabit will delve into the topic of space and our experience of it. Space represents the most immediate way in which we interact with our environment and has been a subject of interest in many fields of research. We will take a look at how various thinkers and areas of study have dealt with space and how our understanding of space relates to our experience of it. I will also discuss my own interest in space as a subject for art.
Amy M. Ho builds video and spatial installations that bring attention to our existence as both physical and psychological beings. She received her undergraduate degree in Art Practice from UC Berkeley and her MFA from Mills College. Amy was selected for the ProArts Gallery 2x2 Solos series in 2012, and is a recipient of a San Francisco Arts Commission Individual Artists Grant for 2013. Amy will be doing residencies at Kala Art Institute and Studio Kura in 2014. She currently works and lives in the Bay Area and is represented by Chandra Cerrito Contemporary.
