Talk
Join us for a lively conversation with visual artist Bill Rose, followed by an engaging question-and-answer period.
We will discuss concepts relating to art and controversy, including ideas around appropriation, originality, and ownership in visual culture. Learn about the origin of Bill’s grid drawings and paintings from the 1970s, and how his artistic practice has progressed throughout the decades, including the story of what happened to his self-portrait made of Pepsi cans.
This is a free program, but a ticket is required. Please reserve your free ticket online or by calling (709)757-8090.
