Stream it: John Sabraw

Note to readers: with fall programming at the Wex gearing up both in-person and online, we're moving away from the "Daily Stream" series to devote more time to sharing stories about the works the center is presenting and the artists behind them in a variety of formats. We'll continue to provide things to read, watch, or listen every weekday.

For #TBT, we're looking back to a November 2019 gallery talk by artist John Sabraw. Professor of Art at Ohio University, Sabraw was invited to speak about the Maya Lin installations created for last fall's blockbuster show HERE: Ann Hamilton, Jenny Holzer, Maya Lin. His practice is built on eco-consciousness and Sabraw aims to be fully sustainable in the production of his drawings, paintings, and collaborative installations. On this front, his work turning acid mine pollution into paint recently garnered attention from Time. You can hit play on Sabraw's gallery talk below.
