Video artist Oliver Herring, whose work is now on exhibit in Hamilton's Emerson Gallery, will hold a gallery conversation with Emerson Gallery Consulting Director Ian Berry on Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 4:15 p.m. in the gallery. Following the conversation, a reception will be held at 5 p.m. for the three current exhibitions, including “Oliver Herring: Video Sketch.” The three exhibits, which also include “private (dis)play: Contemporary Artists’ Sketchbooks” and “William Palmer: Drawing from Life,” run until Jan. 3. The event is free and open to the public.
The artwork of New York-based artist Oliver Herring (b. 1964) explores many media, from sculpture and performance to photography and video. “Oliver Herring: Video Sketch” features a selection of his experimental videos that begin with the artist working alone in his studio and grow to involve other people and different locations. Using stop-motion techniques and everyday objects as props, Herring uses these videos to explore social interactions, human relationships and creative experimentation. This exhibition was organized by Emerson Consulting Director Ian Berry.
