Join the Department of Art’s 2024-25 Christian A. Johnson Artist-in-Residence* Suchi Reddy for lunch and conversation about the Bias and Belonging project she is creating at Colgate University.Reddy joins us this year to host a series of community conversations centered on the ways bias impacts our lived experience. As the dualities of bias and belonging, reflection and misreflection are amplified by the exponentially increasing presence of artificial intelligence in every aspect of our daily lives, we invite you to join in the conversation to share your lived experience of advanced technology and AI. The results of these conversations will take many forms, including woven artifacts created on the new TC2 digital loom in Colgate's recently opened Fabulation Lab (103 Bernstein Hall).For up-to-date information, visit https://www.cliffordgallery.org/events/. Pizza lunch will be provided.Suchi Reddy is an architect, designer, and artist based in NYC. In 2002, she founded Reddymade, which focuses on public art installations, large-scale commercial spaces, and residential projects ranging from single-family homes to interiors and prefab architecture. Guided by her mantra “form follows feeling,” Reddy’s architectural and artistic practice is informed by her research on neuroaesthetics, which examines the impact our environments have on the brain and body.Reddymade’s most celebrated projects include the first flagship Google retail space in New York, rated LEED Platinum; “me+you,” an interactive AI and light sculpture currently on display at Michigan Central Station in Detroit, and first unveiled in 2021 at the Smithsonian in DC for the FUTURES exhibit; a minimalist home in Salt Point, New York, with artist Ai Weiwei; “Look Here,” a solo exhibition at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., and many more exciting projects.
