Conversation with David Opdyke and Lawrence Weschler
@ Weinberg/Newton Gallery
688 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IlL 60642
Opening Sunday, November 3rd, from 5PM - 6:30PM
Join artist David Opdyke and cultural critic Lawrence Weschler for a conversation about Opdyke’s piece, This Land, on display at Weinberg/Newton Gallery, starting November 3, 2019 through February 1, 2020.
When David Opdyke wanted to address climate change in his work, he found the perfect medium in vintage, hand-tinted postcards. Using their idyllic views of American landscapes as a canvas, Opdyke added apocalyptic painted imagery, from out of control fires to menacing beasts and written messages of doom. Five hundred of these miniature melodramas, organized into a crumbling mosaic, form his critically acclaimed artwork, This Land.
Presented in partnership with the Chicago Humanities Festival and the Institute for the Humanities at the University of Michigan, this event follows the Chicago Humanities Festival event David Opdyke: This Land, which takes place on November 3 at Columbia College, 3-4pm.
