| Jan 23 | Pattern ID |
During this free program presented in collaboration with the Myers School of Art and MOCA, Cole will discuss his life and art, including his extraordinary "scorch paintings" which reference African tribal markings, domestic labor and personal family history and have resembled masks, slave ships and flowers. His sculptures built from recycled objects such as high-heel shoes, hair dryers and bicycle parts similarly reference a broad range of cultural practices, particularly African art traditions. His work is also featured in the MOCA Cleveland exhibition From Then to Now: Masterworks of African-American Art. Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
