ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION
Visual artists, Heide Hatry and Francesca Schwartz derive their artistic center of gravity from a focus around the body and its embodiment of history, memory, containment, and ultimate disappearance. Though they work in different mediums, (ash and bone, etc.), there is a synergistic relationship and conversation between the two bodies of work.
The two are internationally known. For this Artist Study Group they will present a slide overview of their remarkable projects, embracing a space between the body’s longing and loss, memory and its erasure, permanence, and dissipation.
ABOUT THE PRESENTERS
HEIDE HATRY
With years of experience in the rare book trade, Heide Hatry explores the mystery of bridging the flourishing of life in literature to the representation of the body’s decay created from the visceral ashes of her experience; from art object to art subject. Among her fundamental preoccupations are the effects of knowledge (and ignorance) upon perception. Having been raised a Pietist in a Germany writhing under the onus of its ignominious past and on an industrialized pig-farm, she is no stranger to the engagement with final things.
FRANCESCA SCHWARTZ
Francesca Schwartz, PhD, merges psychoanalysis with her background in the performing and fine arts. She is informed by a fascination with the materiality and metaphor of the female body. Dr. Schwartz is on the faculty of IPTAR and has a private practice in New York where she specializes in treating emerging artists.
Together, their presentation and discussion will respond to the present wounds of the world in human ways: awareness, concern, and involvement. They will demonstrate the rigor and sensitivity of examining the relationship of memory, of transformation. of reintegration, and of art. They use a range of unconventional artistic mediums in a desire to break entrenched social and gender identity roles.
