Artist Talk: Lucas Blalock in conversation with Anthea Behm 0

ARCH is pleased to host artist Lucas Blalock in conversation with Anthea Behm, organized by Daedalus Street on Thursday, June 8th, 2023 at 7 PM.The talk occurs on the occasion of PAssAGEs, The Eye Sees' new itinerant program which is hosted by Daedalus Street. Two parallel PAssAGEs will be inaugurated in Athens on the 9th of June 2023 and stay on show until the end of July. 

Elise Ferguson's work is shown on the windows of the Daedalus Street studio on Daedalidon in Kato Petralona and Lucas Blalock close by at the corner of Kydantidon and Kallisthenous in Ano Petralona. Both artists have developed site specific work for each building’s facade, maintaining the ongoing commitment of The Eye Sees to making great art available, free, to as many people as possible.

Lucas Blalock (b. 1978 Asheville, North Carolina, lives and works in New York) Blalock’s pictures have been included in recent exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, the the Walker Art Center, the Hammer Museum, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He has made a number of artist books including Towards a Warm Math (Hassla, 2011), Windows Mirrors Tabletops (Morel, 2013), Inside the White Cub (Peradam, 2014) and SPBH Subscription Series Vol. IIV (Self Publish Be Happy, 2014). Blalock is also active as a writer and has published in a number of periodicals including Aperture, Foam and Mousse.

Daedalus Street is the studio of artists Athanasios Argianas and Rowena Hughes opening up to host projects relating to the city as seen from elsewhere. Inviting friends and colleagues to work in Athens, experimenting within the fabric of the city and engaging with its energy. Daedalus Street is funded through the generosity of patrons, grants and through selling artist editions.

After four years, 25 specially commissioned interventions from international artists on the windows of the gallery and several shows at their permanent venue in the cultural hub of Arles in the South of France, The Eye Sees is now on the road presenting PAssAGE, a new itinerant programme of work - the first two stops have been in Lyon and the Luberon, Provence.

Anthea Behm is a visual artist who works across media to draw out connections between material, form, and social content that have been obscured by dominant narratives and conventional processes.

Elise Ferguson (Richmond, Virginia, lives and works in Brooklyn, NY) has had solo exhibitions with Halsey McKay Gallery, White Columns, Envoy Enterprises, New York and at Illinois State University. Her works have been included in exhibitions at Luhring Augustine, Team Gallery, Dieu Donne Papermill, The Sculpture Center, Andrew Kreps, and CRG Gallery, New York; Bowdoin College Museum of Art in Brunswick, Maine, Fourteen30 Contemporary, Portland, Norwich Gallery, England, Lothringer Dreizen, Munich, amongst others.
