Join us for a lecture from international visitor Alfredo Gutiérrez Borrero, offering ‘material (and problematic) answers from the multiplicity that we are here and now.’ Alfredo Gutiérrez Borrero is Associate Professor at the School of Product Design at Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano in Bogotá, Colombia, and visits Aotearoa as a guest of Objectspace and AUT School of Future Environments. Gutiérrez Borrero introduces his presentation: “The lecture deals with material narratures (the materialized and materializing narratives of nature and culture) explanations, implications and applications of what has been, as the established tapestry of memory – of what has happened, what has gone before us, and with desires as the conglomerate of possibilities of what will happen after. From the deeply rooted reinterpretation of multiple relational localities, this lecture will present a questioning conversation of the linearity of Western time that begins in the past and moves forward into the future. How do we read the strata of design that have become archaeological objects? How do we converse with things (in terms of what we say through them and also of what we speak with them)? In the key of the south, of the other, of the other names – what has occupied this place (what pre-occupies it) and what is going to occupy it (what will re-occupy it)?” — This lecture takes place in AUT’s WA Building Conference Centre, best entry via Gate 2 – view a city campus map here. Spaces are limited and registration is essential. Join us for a drink from 5.30pm – Gutiérrez Borrero’s lecture will begin 6pm sharp. — Alfredo Gutiérrez Borrero (b. 1968, Bogotá, Colombia) is Associate Professor at the School of Product Design at Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano in Bogotá, Colombia. In his work Alfredo is concerned with the spatial intertwining and happening of the relationality between diverse futures and pasts, desires and memories, archaeologies and designs – as modalities of actualisation of materiality in the present times. He is interested in everything that plays the role of design within the traditions and customs of human groups that by decision or situation have exteriority to the Western world. His work has been discussed and presented in various countries in Latin America and Europe, the United States and New Zealand and in 2017 he carried out a doctoral research internship under the direction of Leali'ifano Dr. Albert L Refiti within the AUT School of Art and Design. — Alfredo Gutiérrez Borrero visits Aotearoa as a guest of Objectspace and Auckland University of Technology's School of Future Environments.

Join Wellesley College Art Department's Samara Pearlstein for a workshop on botanical illustration. We will look closely at the work on display in Rory McEwen: A New Perspective on Nature to see how McEwen constructed his meticulous, vibrant paintings. We'll discuss his intensely observational practice and how his techniques differed from more familiar ways of using watercolor. Participants will then have the opportunity to create their own botanical drawings and paintings in a guided studio mini-class. Supplies will be provided. This workshop is $25 per person and is open to the public. Samara Pearlstein studied art and biology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and has an MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston/Tufts University. Her current work compares natural and human-made marks in the landscape, and questions what kinds of bodies have historically been allowed to own, explore, alter, mark, and inhabit the land. Her work was exhibited recently at the Mosesian Center for the Arts in Watertown, the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill, and the Sargent House Museum in Gloucester. In 2020, she received a grant from the St. Botolph Club Foundation to fund the printing of her experimental graphic novel about perception (and its failures). Misrecognitions (2021) is available in Wellesley’s Art Library. She is the Art Department’s Program Coordinator and Gallery Director. She also makes many images of cats. https://samarapearlstein.com Information Source: Davis Museum at Wellesley College | eventbrite
