Please join us Thursday, February 6th at 5pm for an artist talk by internationally acclaimed American artist George Ferrandi. The talk will take place in Seacobeck 145, and is open to everyone.

George Ferrandi is a visual artist based in New York, working in sculpture, performance, and public projects. Over the past several years, she has been collaborating with artists across the United States and internationally on Jump!Star, a multi-site, publicly engaged project that explores the shifting location of the North Star. George’s work has been exhibited around the world, at the International House of Japan in Tokyo, at Abrons Arts Center in New York, the Kitchen in New York, Cinders Gallery in Brooklyn, the McKinney Contemporary in Dallas, the Wexner Center in Columbus, the Harn Museum in Gainesville, Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia and at Sluice in London. She is an NEA fellow of the Japan – US Friendship Foundation and has also been awarded grants from the Franklin Furnace Fundwinners for Performance Art, and the Mid Atlantic Arts Council.

George’s exhibition, The Double Infinity of Jump!Star: Simmering, is currently on view at Ridderhof Martin Gallery on campus. This exhibition showcases the American premier of artwork produced in collaboration with Jump!Star’s Vienna-based creative team, and includes elements of a multi-faceted public art project presented by Brunnenpassage and Weltmuseum Wien during Documenta 15. At the center of the exhibition at Ridderhof Martin Gallery is a rope woven by participants from around the globe during the Covid-19 lockdown of 2020.
