Jay Hendrick: Post-Graduate Resident Talk

Title:Jay Hendrick: Post-Graduate Resident Talk
Date & Time:Fri Mar 31, 2017 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM
Location:Torpedo Factory Art Center, 105 N. Union St. (Map This)
3rd floor, room 325
Event Details:Before Jay Hendrick finishes his time in the post-MFA residency studio, hear about the art projects, collaborations and workshops he developed. Moderated by Anne Smith, 2016 post-MFA resident.

Jay Hendrick questions the value of value in his work. He creates paintings, then analyzes their importance, worth, and merit by exposing his work to different methods, such as digitization, duplication, and performance. His visual vocabulary is based on grids, a stable and reliable form, and color to assess the form’s value. His sundry palette draws from high and low culture, bringing together pop-music pink with cave-born ochers.

During his residency, Hendrick emulated the processes of other contemporary artists in the greater Washington, D.C. region in an effort to understand why other painters do what they do. He also conducted a series of visitor-focused workshops and dialogues in his studio, walking the line between education and performance art, titled “Skills Exchange,” “Joke Workshop,” and “How to Build a Boat When No One Knows How to Build a Boat.”
