Carving into Memory
with Kevork Mourad
Description
Join us for an inspiring talk from the internationally-acclaimed artist Kevork Mourad, best known for his unique “spontaneous painting” technique. Mourad will delve into his art practice and process, reflecting on the societal role of the artist.
Born in Syria, of Armenian heritage, and now based in New York, Mourad continues to record and respond to events in the country of his birth. Motivated by the belief that the artist is responsible for creating and conjuring memory, he pulls from the past to push society forward.
Mourad will also be on site from January 31–February 12 for Museum as Studio: Kevork Mourad in Residence, an exhibition featuring his live painting. The final artwork, an immersive large-scale piece, will be displayed in our galleries from February 13–24.
