Artist residencies played a crucial role in establishing Artpark as a pioneering and influential arts organization and are key to our development. To raise awareness and funds for future residency programs, Artpark is launching a series of conversations with eight notable artists.
Hosted by Dr. Anthony Bannon and Artpark’s President, Sonia Clark, attendees will be able to engage with the artists live via Zoom.
Sculptor Robert Booth (Artpark artist in 1983) has presented his work in more than 100 solo and group exhibitions over the past 30 years, including two major one-man shows at the Burchfield Penney. Currently a SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus, Booth was in charge of the sculpture curriculum at the State University of NY, Fredonia for 41 years until his retirement in 2019.
Diane Bertolo (Artpark artist in 1983) works with pixels, paper, sticks and stones to create visually diverse works that mark the passage of time. Most works are informed by the concept of impermanence along with the idea that embedded in every living thing is the algorithm for its demise–a coded time machine ticking from within. Her work has been shown in many exhibitions over the years at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Burchfield Penney, San Francisco Art Institute, and more. She has received numerous prestigious fellowships and awards.
While both artists were in residence at Artpark in the same year, they never met and look forward to comparing notes on their experiences.
