Guest artist Erin Mallea to join Department of Art Lecture Series
November 11, 2024
The 2024-25 Department of Art Lecture Series will continue this semester as it welcomes guest artist Erin Mallea for a studio visit and lecture Monday, November 18, in the McDonough Museum of Art.
Mallea is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the past and present of microcosms as entry points into larger human and environmental conditions. Her work is supported by her place-based research and partnerships with biologists, historians, environmental justice activists, and more.
Mallea has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally at galleries and museums, and she currently publishes a newsletter, “Tree News,” with artist Paper Buck. She earned her Master of Fine Arts from Carnegie Mellon University in 2019, and serves as an assistant professor of art at Pennsylvania State University’s School of Visual Art.
Mallea will hold studio visits from 1:00 – 3:30 PM in the McDonough Museum of Art, with a lecture to follow at 5:30 PM in the museum’s lecture hall (room 3000).
Entry to the studio visits and lecture is free and open to the public. Parking is available in the Wick Avenue Deck (M30) for a $5 fee payable in cash only.
