This is the fifth of six events in the guest lecture series, a collection of interdisciplinary art by local California artists. “Beyond Field: A Guide Through Practice and Discipline” is organized by Jenny Yurshansky, an independent curator and first-year MFA candidate in Studio Art. “This animate field guide leads you through the wild and woolly frontiers of the art world, where the featured artists and cultural practitioners navigate territories of tactical magic, island nation overlords, penitentiaries, miniature models, chimerical remains, and weirdo think tanks!” she says.
