Following the lecture\, Massey will lead a brief gallery walk through the West Michigan Area Show exhibition\, offering his expert perspective on selected works and highlighting the themes and techniques that stood out to him as a juror. \nDr. Hubert Massey is an award-winning Kresge Fine Arts Fellow.

SUMMARY:Artist’s Talk with Holly Roberts
DESCRIPTION:Artist Holly Roberts will speak about her body of work created over the past 40 years\, tracing her development as a pioneer in the world of altered photography. Mary Statzer\, Curator of Prints and Photographs at the University of New Mexico Art Museum\, has written\, “Holly Roberts’ contribution to the field of photography is without question. Her work has been added to the canon of experimental ‘creative’ photography in authoritative books on the subject for good reason. Few artists have so successfully combined photography and painting–seamlessly and to great effect–placing the imagined and the ‘real’ on equal footing to describe both lived experiences as well as psychological states and emotion.” \nHolly Roberts’ work has been shown internationally\, and she is represented by galleries across the country. In 2023\, she had a one-person exhibit at the San Diego Museum of Modern Art. She has had five monographs published about her work\, including a comprehensive survey of her work from her exhibit in San Diego called\, “Storyteller: Work by Holly Roberts.” She has received numerous awards and grants\, including two artist’s grants from National Endowments for the Arts. \nA selection of works by Holly Roberts is now on view in the Kirk Newman Art School Commons.
