Gallery talks continue at CMCA
ROCKLAND — The Center for Maine Contemporary Art continues its summer 2015 lineup of gallery talks Wednesday, June 24, at 5:30 p.m. at this summer’s temporary space at the Bicknell Building, 11 Lime St.
In conjunction with his current exhibition, Everywhere Forever, Sean Patrick O'Brien will talk about his site-specific installation at CMCA Bicknell exploring the geometry of space and time through sculpture, video, shelter and spirituality. Influenced by visionary R. Buckminster Fuller, O'Brien will discuss his interest in how geodesic structures can be used to provide shelter to a modern nomadic existence; and how he incorporates that influence into his ongoing creative exploration.
O'Brien was born in 1985 in Hermosa Beach, Calif., and grew up in Freeport, Maine. In 2007, he received a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. He recently has been an artist-in-residence in Iceland and has had studios in Tucson, Ariz.; Grand Manan, New Brunswick, Canada; and Bear Island and Portland, Maine. Awarded a grant from the Kindling Fund, he will be creating a floating geodesic sculpture that will travel the coast of Maine.
The gallery talk is free, but seating is limited, call 236-2875 to reserve. The next gallery talk will be Wednesday, July 1, at 5:30 p.m. with artist Kevin Cyr, discussing his current exhibition, Becoming Nomads. Both exhibitions run through July 5.
