Marielle Plaisir joins Jen Sudul Edwards, PhD, chief curator and curator of Contemporary Art at The Mint Museum for a conversation about Plaisir’s multidisciplinary artistic practice, including painting, installation, tapestry, fashion, and public art.
Drawing from her works, such as "The Divine Comedy" on view at Mint Museum Uptown and recent large-scale installations, the conversation will examine themes of beauty, humanity, identity, and storytelling across mediums. Plaisir will discuss how painting informs her broader creative vision and how different materials allow her to expand and deepen her narrative practice.
The evening will include a moderated conversation followed by audience Q&A.
Cash bar and reception opens at 6 PM, followed by the 7 PM artist talk.
