Artist Talk

Join us for an evening with the internationally celebrated artist Shary Boyle. Shary Boyle is a bold, fantastical artist that has been featured all over the world, from France to South Korea.

Shary Boyle works in sculpture, painting, installation and drawing. Highly crafted and deeply imaginative, her practice is activated through collaboration and mentorship. Boyle’s work considers the social history of ceramic figurines, animist mythologies and folk art forms to create a symbolic, feminist and politically charged language uniquely her own.

Join Shary Boyle for an artist talk about her upcoming major exhibition, Outside the Palace of Me. After which, you will get a sneak peek of this multi-sensory installation including drawings, ceramic sculpture, life-sized automatons, two-way mirrors, coin-operated sculpture and an interactive score.
