Interdisciplinary artist Leeza Meksin returns to Columbus to share her perspective on why focusing on a specific medium is overrated.

What is an artist’s role in society? How does the answer to that question change if artists have permission to use multiple types of media and expand their work to include curating and teaching? Meksin, whose artistic practice combines painting, installation, drawing, and public art, considers the possibilities while highlighting an important aspect of her process, “darting in directionless abundance.” A Q&A follows the talk.
