Visiting artists offer public talks The Department of Art and Art History hosts the final two Hixson-Lied Visiting Artists of the 2006-2007 academic year, Kim Abeles and Lee Boroson. An open session with Abeles will be at 2 p.m. March 22 in Richards Hall room 24. Boroson will present a free public lecture at 5:30 p.m. March 26 in the Richards Hall auditorium, room 15. An open session with Boroson is at 2 p.m. March 27 in Richards Hall room 24. Both sessions and the lecture are open to the public. Abeles is an artist who crosses disciplines and media to explore and map the urban environment and chronicle broad social issues. "The Smog Collector" series brought her work to national and international attention in the art world, and mainstream sources such as Newsweek and Dan Rather. Boroson lives and works in Brooklyn, N.Y. He has created installations and shown his work in numerous solo exhibitions. The visiting artist series is made possible by a grant from the Hixson-Lied Endowment. Each artist's visit is organized in ways to facilitate interaction between the visiting artists and art and art history faculty, students and the general public.
