Deborah Robert\u2019s lecture will be at 6:00pm Tuesday, November 12th, in the Austin Peay State University Art + Design building\u2019s Room 120. (APSU)<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been a fan of Roberts\u2019 work for years, and I am super excited for her visit,\u201d said Michael Dickins, chair of the Visiting Artist Speaker Committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer work investigates the way African American identities have been imagined and shaped by societal interpretations of beauty. She engages image-making in art history and pop culture, and ultimately grapples with whatever power and authority these images have had over the female figure. Again, I cannot thank CECA enough for its continuous support in bringing world-class artists to Clarksville,\u201d Dickins stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cRoberts will also conduct one-on-one studio visits with select students,\u201d Dickins added. <\/p>\n

Robert\u2019s lecture, which is free and open to the public, will be at 6:00pm Tuesday, November 12th, in the APSU Art + Design building\u2019s Room 120. <\/p>\n

Roberts is a mixed media artist whose work challenges the notion of ideal beauty. Her work has been exhibited internationally across the USA and Europe.<\/p>\n

Her work is in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, New York; Brooklyn Museum, New York, New York; The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, California; The Block Museum of Art, Evanston, Illinois; Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, Texas; Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, Atlanta, Georgia; Montclair Art Museum, Montclair, New Jersey; and The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery, Saratoga Springs, New York. Roberts is the recipient of the Anonymous Was a Woman Grant (2018), the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant (2016) and a Ginsberg-Klaus Award Fellowship (2014).<\/p>\n
