Jeffrey Clancy Artist Talk

Artist Talk at the Saint Kate: October 18, 2019, 5:30 pm
Deep Image Meeting Room, 3rd floor

UW-Madison professor of Art in Metalsmithing and Jewelry, Jeffrey Clancy, delves into examining the Villa Terrace – both objectively and anecdotally – by re-telling its stories in a way that combines facts with the artist’s idiosyncratic observations and imagined likely possibilities. His sculptures and installations reveal inherent truths about historical understanding – that the many holes in our knowledge of history are often filled with conjecture and guesswork to build a more complete picture. When you remove these fabricated elements, you are left with a surprisingly spare portrait of the past.
