Lecture: James Hyde January 1, 2010

Location: Falvey Hall, Brown Center Known for transformations of abstract paintings into physical objects, such as glass boxes, pillows, and handles, James Hydes most recent work investigates the collision of paint on the flat field of a photographic surface. He employs a broad range of materials, techniques, and disciplines, including painting, sculpture, and furniture design, as he fearlessly expands the vocabulary of abstract painting. He will discuss his recent paintings and explorations during his visit to MICA. Born in Philadelphia, he lives and works in Brooklyn, N.Y. He has exhibited widely, including recent solo exhibitions at SOUTHFIRST, Brooklyn, N.Y.; Sikkema Jenkins & Co, New York; and Elisabeth Kaufmann Gallery for Contemporary Art, Zurich. Hydes work is held in several museum collections, including the Brooklyn Museum of Art, N.Y.; the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Denver Art Museum; and the Museo Cantonale dArte, Lugano, Switzerland. His work has been reviewed by many major art publications, including Artforum, Art in America, ARTnews, and Flash Art. In 2008, Hyde was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship.
