5:30 pm Lamar Dodd School of Art S151 Sponsored by: Lamar Dodd School of Art Contact: artinfo@uga.edu 706-542-1511 Speaker: Corin Hewitt, sculptor and photographer. Processes of image-making, cycles of consumption and regeneration, and the mining of memory are at the heart of Hewitt’s multi-faceted practice in performance, sculpture and photography. Merging natural and artificial materials, Hewitt’s works question distinctions between the living and inanimate, suggesting that that self-performance is not limited to the living, and that the fixity of objects is also suspect.  Hewitt lives and works in East Corinth, Vermont and Richmond, Virginia. Hewitt has exhibited widely, including solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Seattle Art Museum, the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, and MOCA Cleveland in January 2013. His work has recently been included in group exhibitions at P.S.1, New York; the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Oslo; the Henry Art Gallery, Seattle; and Galerie Perrotin, Paris.  In 2011 and 2012 Hewitt was the recipient of the Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship in Fine Arts and The Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant for Painting and Sculpture, and was recently a resident at the Zabludowicz Collection, Finland.This lecture is part of the Lamar Dodd School of Art's 2012-2013 Visiting Artist and Scholar Series.  Lamar Dodd School of Art
