Join us for a conversation with Director of Curatorial Affairs, Derrick Cartwright, Ph.D. and the Timken's sixth artist-in-residence, Marisol Rendón as they discuss the museum’s summer exhibition. Rendón’s installation is inspired by her deep admiration for the Renaissance religious imagery and by the Russian devotional icons she has studied in the galleries. Specifically, she has been moved by these works' integration of elaborately gilded halos and decorative backgrounds which parallel, in surprising ways, the intricate goldwork of indigenous artisans in Columbia. Rendón alludes to this universal attraction by calling her project for the Timken Tapando el Sol con un Dedo (Covering the Sun With One Finger). Event guests will receive a sneak peek of Rendón's installation before the exhibition opens to the public.
