Wed, Nov 4, 7pm W.M. Keck Lecture Hall Artist Perry Hall approaches painting as a time-based medium similar to choreography or improvising music; he creates the traditional line-form-color-surface but also adds painting behavior-- ways in which paint transforms and moves over time. His artworks, which integrate painting and filmmaking, are created by activating natural dynamic forces (turbulence, thermodynamics, magnetism, gravity, chemical reactions) instead of using digital processes or "static" painting techniques. His work over twenty years reimagines painting as a dialogue with a semi-autonomous ecology of forms existing in a state of continuous transformation; his project explores "material intelligence" and the relationship between painting, nature and technology. Hall has exhibited internationally in venues including the Smithsonian National Design Museum and Artists Space in New York, The Neue National Gallery, Berlin, The New World Symphony in Miami, The Tokyo Art Fair, and at Adelaide Festival in Australia. His artwork can be seen in the Academy Award winning Robin Williams film What Dreams May Come and more recently in Scarlett Johansson's eyes in Luc Besson’s motion picture Lucy. He's been an invited critic at the London A.A., Columbia University, Pratt, RPI and has spoken at a diverse variety of cultural institutions including The Berlin School of Fine Art, Columbia GSAPP, as keynote speaker at the 2011 Smart Geometry conference and at film studio Industrial Light and Magic. http://sciarc.edu/lectures.php?id=2422
