To celebrate the release of her new visually arresting book, Wayfinding, artist Teresita Fernández takes the stage with scholar, curator and NYU professor Isolde Brielmaier, and writer Eliot Weinberger to discuss the first complete overview of her multi-faceted body of work. The idea of wayfinding—moving from place to place or even getting lost—is critical to understanding Teresita Fernández’s approach, which incorporates unconventional materials such as graphite, pyrite, dyed thread, polycarbonate tubes, gold, and malachite to explore how we look at and process our surroundings from land to sky, private to public. Organized into six sections—landscape, celestial, terrestrial, subterranean, cinematic, and radiance—which reflect themes recurring in Fernández’s practice, Wayfinding spans her full career. Please arrive early.
