The University of Rhode Island's School of Art is holding a free public lecture by a well-known New York artist this October.
Steve Locke will speak at 5:30pm in theFulbright College of Arts and Sciences' Hillside Auditorium, reports the school's website.
Locke, who grew up in Detroit, has had solo shows at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, among others.
"His goal is to not allow the audience to look away from our complicit role but stands beside us as we face it," says Aaron Turner, an assistant professor of art in photography.
Locke's work "brings a dynamic perspective to the intersection of color, what it means to look and history," Turner says.
"I think his lecture will be eye opening for students on what is possible within the traditional and expanded field of art," he adds.
