ALFRED, NY— The Weekly Wednesday Artists’ Speaker Series at Alfred University continues on Wednesday, Feb. 16, at 7 p.m. in Holmes Theater, Harder Hall, with a lecture by Liet Heringa and Maarten Van Kalsbeek, who are serving this semester as International Randall Chairs of Ceramic Art.
In the Weekly Wednesday Artists’ Speaker Series, guest artists present short talks on their creative practice outside of the classroom. During the Fall 2021 semester, faculty and staff in the School of Art and Design/Performing Arts Division, gave the weekly presentations. The series aims to engage the Alfred community by creating a unique sharing space focusing on the arts.
Heringa and Van Kalsbeek, artists/sculptors from the Netherlands, will speak about their work and the collaborative projects undertaken in museums and residencies worldwide. For more than 25 years, since their student days at the Rietveld Académie in Amsterdam, they have regularly collaborated as Heringa/Van Kalsbeek on myriad projects in the Netherlands and internationally.
