The Vermont Studio Center, nestled in the banks of the Gihon River in Johnson, is offering a virtual artist talk on Thursday, Feb. 4, with University of Iowa assistant professor, visual artist, educator and performer T.J. Dedeaux-Norris.
The event will be hosted via Virtual VSC, a digital arm of the centerâs programmatic offerings, to discuss Dedeaux-Norrisâs current exhibition: âT.J. Dedeaux-Norris Presents the Estate of Tameka Jenean Norris.â
This installation has been on display at the Figge Museum of Art for the last four months, ending on Jan. 31. It poses the question, âWhat part of yourself must you hide or bury for another to survive?â and others designed to explore the complex legacy of an artistâs identity after their death.
