Public Talk with Julia Bryan-Wilson: Lotty Rosenfeld's Materiality

In this talk, Julia Bryan-Wilson explores how the work of Chilean feminist artist Lotty Rosenfeld (1943-2020) utilized sculptural propositions to alter public space through materiality. Though Rosenfeld has been generally understood as a conceptual artist and co-founder of the important dissident group Colectivo Acciones de Arte, active during the Pinochet dictatorship, her work also has a persistent through-line that engages with materials (including street actions, textiles, and mixed media collages) that bring her work in dialogue with sculptural dimensionality.
