Welcome artist Rachel Harrison as the featured speaker at this year’s lecture honoring former Art Institute curator James Speyer. Since the mid-1990s, artist Rachel Harrison has produced abstract, handmade constructions of wood, cement, polystyrene, and paint that often serve as supports for found photos and objects. Stubbornly physical yet highly conceptual, Harrison’s sculptures evoke ancient memorials and reflect the influence of today’s celebrity-centric culture.
**Limited number of complimentary tickets for SAIC students are available. One RSVP per student, please.**
