Artist Talk at NuMu Today

Matt Gosser, a major figure in Newark arts as artist, curator, and director of the NJIT art gallery, sent out an email notice earlier this week of an event today.

On Thursday I'll be giving an artist talk at the Newark Museum as part of my art residency — on the second floor. I think there will be some refreshments available at 4pm and the talk starts at 4:45. It'll be a general slideshow of past work and process with a little bit about the work I'll be doing for the residency. Should be done by 6pm.

I asked for clarification of a couple of points, and he provided this further information:

it's a free event at the newark museum. the talk will be about past ar+ch exhibits and how what i'm doing at the residency fits into that. probably not too much about curator/director [of the College of Architecture and Design at NJIT].

Matt is perhaps best known for the Ar+cheology exhibitions, of artworks created from things found at old buildings before their demolition. Here, for instance, is a sculpture he made for one such show.
