Textures of Time: Artist Talk by Beatrice Glow
Join Emerson Contemporary for an artist talk with Beatrice Glow, whose research-driven practice explores how histories of empire, migration, trade, and cultural exchange continue to shape the present. Doors open at 6pm, talk starts at 6:30pm.
Glow will discuss Textures of Time, currently on view in Thin Places, as well as her broader practice, which begins in archives, museum collections, and field research. Working across sculpture, installation, video, performance, and scent, Glow transforms historical research into sensory and speculative experiences that invite us to reconsider whose histories are preserved, how they are remembered, and how they might be imagined differently.
An American artist of Taiwanese heritage, Glow works in sustained collaboration with Indigenous culture bearers, researchers, and museum collections across Asia, the Americas, and Europe. Her projects have been presented at The New York Historical, Baltimore Museum of Art, Western Australia Shipwrecks Museum, Park Avenue Armory, and the Honolulu Biennial, among others.
In conversation with Thin Places, Glow will consider how objects can carry histories across time and how archives, digital technologies, and artistic imagination can become thresholds between past and present.
Free and open to the public. Location: Media Art Gallery, 25 Avery Street, Boston, Ma
