SUMMARY:Red Wing - Art and War: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join the Minnesota Humanities Center and Anderson Center for a moderated conversation with artists who either focus on the representation of war and armed conflict in their art\, or who have created art that addressed these subjects. Artists will discuss their creative output\, what it means to interpret experiences of warfare\, what happens in the act of interpretation and artistic creation\, and what the viewing public can learn from interaction with and communal discussion of these works. \nAbout the Artists\nMary Horgan is an artist and retired Staff Sergeant (U.S. Army). Among multiple activations\, she served in the Iraq War in 2006. Horgan’s art confronts the harsh realities of war and the honorable pursuit of peace for all. Since retiring\, art has become her tool for healing\, peace\, and resistance. Horgan’s work includes the memorial to women Veterans\, “You Will Not Erase Us\,” commissioned by the City of Ramsey in Minnesota. She also creates a range of two and three-dimensional art pieces that explore themes of conflict\, survival\, resistance\, nature\, beauty\, and truth-telling. \nBesides her artistic work\, Horgan is a mother and grandmother\, and caretaker of animals and gardens. She is passionate about our nation’s democracy and creates work rooted in justice\, resilience\, and deep personal truth and recovery. \nJustin Newhall is an American artist currently based in Minneapolis.

His work is represented in public and private collections\, including the Museum of Contemporary Photography\, Walker Art Center\, and George Eastman House (New York). \nMegan Rye is a visual artist and teacher. She was born in Seoul\, South Korea in 1975\, and currently lives in Minneapolis. Through paintings\, drawings\, photography\, and artists books\, Rye uses visual storytelling to explore themes of migration\, citizenship\, remembrance\, war\, and democracy. Rye’s first significant body of work\, “I Will Follow You Into the Dark\,” was a series of paintings based on photographs Rye’s brother took while serving in Iraq. This project debuted at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (2007)\, and was Rye’s first solo exhibit in New York City at Forum Gallery (2011). The aftermath of the Iraq War continues to reverberate\, and the paintings have been studied and exhibited widely\, including a recent exhibition at the Kunsthalle Emden (Germany). \nRye’s work has been sustained by significant support from the Bush Foundation\, McKnight Foundation\, Jerome Foundation\, and the Minnesota State Arts Board. \nAbout the Moderator\nMonica Moses Haller is an artist whose work spans photography\, writing\, sound\, and focuses on personal details that explore violence and possibilities within social and environmental systems.
