Artist Talk: Ina Archer

Microscope is very pleased to present an artist talk with Ina Archer in connection with her first solo exhibition at the gallery “Osmundine (Orchid Slap),” which has been extended through October 11th. The conversation will go live on this page on Saturday October 3rd at 7pm and will be freely accessible.

Archer will discuss, among others, the video installations, collage on paper and other works on view in her current exhibition within the broader context of her practice, as well as the themes addressed in the show, especially the representation of African Americans and “the other” in Hollywood and commercial films, musicals, product branding, literature, and art.
