Gleeson Library — Thacher Gallery Event
This conversation features three artists from Market/Value discussing the roles of design and text in the artworks presented in Market/Value. The conversation will explore the direct, mixed, and subversive messaging in each of their works, the aesthetics of rasquache and creative appropriation, and much more!
Kathryn Kenworth makes work that looks at how ordinary objects and materials can tell stories about social dynamics, personal desires, emotional structures and systems of value. Kevin Lopez Pardillo works with mixed-media sculptural installations and airbrush painting, focusing on the rasquache politics of "making do," an ideology that originated within Mexican and Chicano working-class communities. Madi Reyes is a graphic designer specializing in branding, packaging design, and illustration. Moderator Ian Montgomery teaches in USF’s design program and is a designer working in packaging, editorial, product, and spatial design.
