Fiamma Montezemolo Lecture - DATE CHANGE
Editor's Note: This event has been moved to the fall. Updated date to come.
Italian-born, San Francisco-based artist and scholar Fiamma Montezemolo is exhibiting work at Arizona StateUniversity's Hayden Library as part Visual LIT, a new collaboration between ASU Library and ASU Art Museum that brings together visual artists interested in exploring different aspects of the library — from antique books to future modes of communication. Her piece for the installation "Neon Afterwords" uses sentences extracted from Borges' short story "The Anthropologist." She will be lecturing at the ASU Art Museum about her art practice and her work on display at ASU.
