Mon3/256:00-7:30pm36 Edgewood303Join us for an all-school artist lecture by Stephanie Dinkins. Dinkin’s participatory and immersive works aim to create equitable social and technological ecosystems through public engagement, storytelling, and a hands-on approach to technology. Her long-running experiments with AI center memory, intimacy, poetics, and playfulness as strategies to reconstruct AI models and their integrated tools. By anchoring her practice in small data rather than vast quantities of information, Dinkins develops reparative models for AI centered not on instrumentalization but rather on socially driven and culturally sensitive values such as care and attentiveness. Stephanie Dinkins was named Inaugural Recipient of the LG Guggenheim Award. (No registration required, open to the Yale Community, seating is first come first serve.)

Registration for van (limited to 13 seats). All others can carpool to 46 Acorn Hill Rd, Woodbridge CT (No registration required for carpooling.)

When a ladder faculty member takes a leave, they give a presentation of their work. Visit Anoka Faruqee + David Driscoll's studio to see their paintings and hear about their collaborative process: from digital color management to material exploration. Faruqee + Driscoll began their conversation about abstract field painting in 1998, exhibited alongside one another in 2005, and began the moiré series in 2012. The current co-authored work expands on each of their prior practices, including Faruqee’s commitment to modular chroma and geometry and Driscoll’s investigation of indexical materiality. They use both digital and analog processes to layer, calibrate and misalign patterns, amplifying them into luminous atmosphere and volume.

De Bretteville (B.F.A. 1963, M.F.A. 1964) is well known for her important and early contributions to the field of feminist design and education; in 1973, with the artist Judy Chicago and the art historian and critic Arlene Raven, de Bretteville established the Woman’s Building and the Feminist Studio Workshop—the first independent art school for women and women’s culture—in downtown Los Angeles. This exhibition presents a rich array of materials drawn from the artist’s extensive archive to highlight pivotal moments in her multifaceted and trailblazing career.
