Cameron Schoepp, sculptor, Fort Worth
Moderated by Jennifer Casler Price, senior curator of Asian, African, and ancient American art
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
What does the art of the past mean to the artist of the present? In this ongoing program, moderated by Kimbell staff, artists and architects discuss works in the museum’s collection, share the special insights of the practicing professional, and relate older art to contemporary artistic concerns, including their own.
During this talk, Schoepp’s work will be suspended from the light reflector above the gallery floor in the center of the building’s South Gallery. He will discuss his own artistic practice and observations on Kahn’s architectural masterpiece.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Cameron Schoepp is an artist and educator who has been living and working in Texas since 1985. In his sculptural practice, Schoepp employs materials in a matter-of-fact manner to present deceptively simple ideas that increase in complexity as the work unfolds, challenging expectations and using the subsequent discomfort to heighten the viewer’s personal phenomenological experiences.
Schoepp coordinates the studio MFA program and teaches sculpture at Texas Christian University, where he also received his MFA in studio art. His work has recently been exhibited at the Nasher Sculpture Center, Barry Whistler Gallery, and Chateau House, all in Dallas. Two of his sculptural installations are in the City of Fort Worth Public Art Collection.
