About

The Forms of Time: Architecture + Ecology Josephine Halvorson, Gio Sumbadze, Allyson Vieira, Kevin Zucker, moderated by Greg Lindquist Please join artists Josephine Halvorson, Gio Sumbadze, Allyson Vieira and Kevin Zucker for a lively discussion of the relationship between history, architecture, and landscape in their artistic practices, moderated by Rail Curatorial Projects curator Greg Lindquist. Whether drawn to vernacular fragments or regional variants of modernism, the panelists will discuss their diverse range of processes, and how these reflect their aesthetic, conceptual, and temporal concerns. Sumbadze is a Georgian artist engaging with the influence of the Soviet Union on his home country’s architecture and its relationship to his photographic documentation projects. He is joined by Vieira, a New York-based sculptor whose materials often include ones of building construction, Halvorson, a painter whose empathetic paintings from observation often depict fragments of architecture evoking their histories, and Zucker, a painter whose work explores the ways in which the external world is visually archived and stored.
