Jacob Dahlgren: Signs of Abstraction
Manage episode 151040036 series 1013016
Jacob Dahlgren is a painter, sculptor, and conceptual artist who works to a large extent with unconventional materials. The artist finds abstraction in everyday objects, which he employs to create dynamic interactive installations and performances. When arranged, the individual objects lose their intended function, their original value, and become part of something completely new.
This podcast features a lecture presented by Jacob Dahlgren for Forward, Back, Right, Left, on view in the East Gallery January 10, 2009 – April 19, 2009. In this lecture, Signs of Abstraction, Dahlgren discusses hard edge painting, seeing abstraction in everyday life, and his love of striped t-shirts. Following the lecture is an interview with the artist by University of Washington Honors Photo senior Sol Hashemi.
