Artist's Talk

As part of the Catalyst Visiting Artist Series, we are excited to welcome celebrated artist Andres Serrano to give a talk at Asbury Hall on Tuesday, April 1st at 5:30 PM. Andres Serrano has charted a historically significant career as an artist and photographer. Much of his work delves into taboo subjects and darker aspects of society. The controversy these subjects have routinely been met with has never deterred Serrano, now decades deep into a productive and provocative practice. Other bodies of work frankly depict unlikely or uncommon subjects, where the technical grace of Serrano's photography grants the subjects dignity and representation. Please join us to hear Andres speak about his career and work, followed by a question and answer period.

The Catalyst Visiting Artist Series endeavors to bring significant artists to Western New York to speak on their work and to meet with students. Past visiting artists have included Arghavan Khosravi and Mark Dion. Andres Serrano’s talk is being generously hosted by Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center and held at Asbury Hall. Catalyst is made possible by the foundational support of Mike and Josette Taheri.
