Brenda Durant introduced our guest speaker Cheryl Goldsleger – the Morris Eminent Scholar in Art at AU.
Cheryl discussed the history of The Venice Biennale Art Exhibition held in locations throughout Venice, Italy opened to the public on May 11th. This year’s exhibition is titled “May You Live in Interesting Times” and will remain open until November 24, 2019. Cheryl encouraged anyone to attend if given the opportunity. This year’s attendance is expected to be 500,0000- and two-day tickets are available for purchase.
The history of the Venice Biennale began in 1883 when the city council decided to set up a Venice Biennale international art exhibition. The Biennale of Venice invited major Italian artists, each with a maximum of two works that had never been exhibited in Italy
The first Biennale in Venice opened in April 30, 1895 with more than 200,000 visitors.
Cheryl exhibits her work nationally and internationally with her most recent exhibition, Vast Scale-Intimate Space, included in the European Cultural Centre’s 2019 Art Biennale in Venice, Italy. Her work is represented in important museum collections including the Museum of Modern Art, NYC; the High Museum; Albright-Knox Gallery; The Fogg Museum at Harvard and among many other important public and private collections.
Following the program President Scott Williams reminded all that we will be meeting at Sacred Heart Cultural Center next week and proceeded to lead us in the four-way test and then adjourned the meeting.
