Join CNY Artist Initiative featured artist Maria Park for a gallery talk to learn more about her work and approach. Open discussion and light refreshments to follow. Free with Museum admission.
Maria Park’s work explores how technology shapes perception and participation in the world through paintings, installations, and public projects. Her recent focus involves diagrammatic language and its interplay with protocol and duration. Born in Munich and raised in the Bay Area, Park holds an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and is an associate professor of art at Cornell University.
The Everson CNY Artist Initiative is a competitive program that highlights the multi-faceted talents of regional artists. Each year, Everson curators select artists to display their work in solo exhibitions at the Museum. Selections are based on the innovative quality of the work, how the work aligns with the Museum mission, and its relevance to the community.
