Join AAC for an artist talk featuring Amna Asghar, Saskia Fleishman, and Rives Willey, three artists whose work is currently on view at AAC as part of Stretched. Each artist will introduce the audience to their artistic practice and discuss the works that are included in the exhibition. This event is free and will take place on Zoom. Registration is required. 

Stretched
On View: March 27 – June 5

Stretched Artists:
Amna Asghar, Rushern Baker IV, Erick Antonio Benitez, Mark Joshua Epstein, Saskia Fleishman, Jen Noone, Katherine Tzu-Lan Mann, Madeline A. Stratton, and Rives Wiley

Stretched presents an expanded perspective on contemporary painting, featuring nine artists whose work is rooted in but transcends the medium. Ranging from work on canvas to large-scale installation, the exhibition emphasizes the expansive and multi-faceted approach taken by contemporary artists who work with paint as part of their practice. These diverse approaches include incorporating unconventional materials and techniques into their work and expanding beyond the canvas into three-dimensional objects and installations.
