Kevin Jerome Everson to discuss his work in photography, sculpture and film. According to a recent review of his work in Artforum, “For more than a decade, working in numerous film and video formats, Everson has presented images of the lives of African Americans—and other people of African heritage, worldwide—through his own distinctive practice of cinematic portraiture, a blend of fiction and documentary that analyzes minute aspects of individual personality by homing in on everyday gestures of labor and leisure.”
Everson will screen one of his short films and give a talk about his artistic practice in Kopleff Hall (2:00-4:30 pm), followed immediately by a reception in the Welch School Galleries (4:30-6:30).
As a part of the programming, from midnight on February 24 to midnight on February 26, the following Everson films will be available for students to stream:
