Columbus Drive Los Angeles-based SAIC alumnus Kori Newkirk (BFA 1993) creates multimedia paintings, sculptural installations, and photographs that transform his materials into gestures toward the semiotics of cultural identity and his own personal/familial history. His work explores the meaning of the materials, bringing to light the ways in which the implications may be transformed as they are forged through cultural context. A 10-year survey of Newkirk's work was presented at the Studio Museum in Harlem (2008) and his work has been featured in the 2006 Whitney Biennial and DAK'ART:7th Dakar Biennial in Senegal, as well as in numerous solo exhibitions across the U.S. and abroad. This lecture is presented in collaboration with SAIC's Painting and Drawing Department and Alumni Relations.
