Caitlyn Min-ji Au, an artist working between sculpture, video, and food, will discuss her work s a visiting guest artist in the new Haptic Lab course in the Program in Visual Arts taught by Joe Scanlan. Au’s work investigates the gaps, omissions, and discontinuities that occur in sculptural processes as objects transform from one state to another.
The VIS425 Haptic Lab course and related programming are supported in part by the 250th Anniversary Fund for Innovation in Undergraduate Education.
