Artist Sarah Crowner joins James Voorhies, Curator-at-Large at The Bass, for a conversation marking the opening of Faire Foyer: Sarah Crowner in Dialogue with Etel Adan, a newly commissioned exhibition that creates a setting for a formal exchange between Crowner’s work and the only monumental ceramic mural of its kind by the late Lebanese-American artist Etel Adan in the U.S.
Voorhies and Crowner will highlight the interplay between Crowner’s sculptural and spatial works and Adnan’s mural within the broader context of how abstraction, materiality, and landscape shape an exhibition’s spatial environment and viewers’ perception. To learn more about the exhibition, visit Faire Foyer: Sarah Crowner in Dialogue with Etel Adan.
ABOUT SARAH CROWNER
Sarah Crowner (b. Philadelphia, 1974) lives in Brooklyn. Her diverse practice explores the spaces where geometry abuts gesture, materiality merges with composition, and the graphic confronts the handmade. Incorporating two- and three-dimensional works across a variety of media (painting, sculpture, installation, and set design), Crowner’s work points to an expanded field of painting, investigating the relationship between the element and the whole, and how parts build an entirety.
