Conversation with Vernon Fisher at SAMA

About Vernon Fisher (more here):
Fisher’s use of text associates him with the traditions of Texas storytelling and with the Narrative Art Movement. Though artists previously had explored the juxtaposition of text and image before this time, it was during the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s that artists emphasized an extended storyline. Fisher’s works function as visual stories. His narratives are taken from everyday observations, fragments of overheard conversations, childhood experiences, failed love affairs, computer errors, and misunderstandings.
About the conversation series (more here):
For Contemporary Art Month, the Brown Foundation Curator of Contemporary Art David S. Rubin will once again interview artists from the collection before an audience.
The conversations will take place in the SAMA auditorium on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 pm throughout July. Admission is free every Tuesday from 4 to 9 pm as part of the JPMorgan Chase Foundation Free Tuesdays program.
