Emerging Artist Gallery

SCAD alumna Enid Blechman and assistant curator of SCAD exhibitions Ben Tollefson discuss Blechman’s current exhibition “The Red Divers of the Everglades: The Battle Begins.” Blechman blends science and imagination to create narrative paintings that draw attention to current environmental issues.

Gallery 109

Thomas Gensheimer, SCAD architectural history professor, discusses Farmanfarmaian’s exhibition “Lineages” with Amanda York, assistant curator. The conversation will lend insight into the artist’s appropriation of traditional Iranian architecture and decoration for her geometric drawings and mirrored sculptural mosaics.

“Monir” (2014), directed by Bahman Kiarostami, follows the life and career of then-90-year-old artist Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian.
