Lecture | Barbara Bullock: Inviting the Spirits

Lecturer: Robert Cozzolino, Independent Curator

 

The art of Barbara Bullock connects with artists across cultures and generations whose work explicitly invokes the ancestors. These artworks invite many different spirits and honor them. They are made to open a portal through which we can communicate, see and hear them. More than aesthetic objects, these images and constructions are altars; they are animate and ever-changing. Bullock is an artist who has consistently made art in this mindset. In this talk, Bullock's work will be discussed in the wider context of spirit art in her time, and in fluid time.
