Join us in conversation with artist Emily Hoyt-Weber. Talk is free and open to the public. The talk will take place on the second floor of the gallery, in Gallery no.5. Emily Hoyt-Weber is a Madison, Wisconsin based artist who works with landscape and 3d forms to create perceptual experiences. Raised in the Central Valley in California, she received her BA in Art and Literature from Humboldt State University and her MFA from Mills College in 2011. She has taught at Mills College, The Contemporary Art School in Austin, TX, and Coastal Bend College in South Texas. Her work is in collections in Austin, Dallas, and San Francisco. She was awarded a community initiative grant from the city of Austin, and a Herringer Foundation award in Oakland, CA. Through a visual language of fragile linear drawings in space, Hoyt-Weber looks for ways to create physical impressions. The solidity of each installation, drawing and sculpture that she makes is called into question as it is examined by moving partici-pants. The delicate materials chosen in the form of color, light and line speak to the artists’ desire to frame what already exists and allow for a multitude of sense perceptions. Hoyt-Weber asks the question: How can I make something analog with very few materials that can alter our understanding of how we experience our surroundings? How can the art reinform our experience with three dimensionalities, with a location and with the people we interact with?
