Good Children Gallery is pleased to present a conversation on Light, Sound, and the Experimental, with artist Anne Katrine Senstad and Jerry Therio of New Orleans Neon and the New Orleans Neon Art Museum, on the occasion of Senstad's solo exhibition Mal Educación, curated by Christopher Saucedo.
New Orleans native Jerry Therio is a legendary neon artist, innovator and neon collector who has collected, restored and designed neon since 1978. He uses neon, new and vintage, as a medium for fine art, in full scale art installations and gallery exhibitions that have earned critical acclaim. Therio has produced neon for theatre, performance, and numerous movie sets filmed in New Orleans. He has created neon for New Orleans Carnival Krewes’ floats, such as Endymion, Bacchus, and Orpheus, as well as improvisational site specific neon installations for public art, and “Neon Sound Performances” in collaboration with jazz musicians and groups such as Sun Ra Arkestra and Kool and the Gang.
Anne Katrine Senstad is a Norwegian interdisciplinary artist based between New York and Oslo. Her practice includes installation art, spatial light sculpture and site specificity, photography, video and film, and text based art, with a focus on the phenomena of perception and the cognitive system in response to the properties of light, sound, and color. She is concerned with sensorial aesthetics and ethics - the transformative and transcendental ideas of art and philosophical practice. Mal Educación is the second solo exhibition by Norwegian artist Anne Katrine Senstad at Good Children Gallery as part of her ongoing research project, Capitalism in the Public Realm. The exhibition explores the intersection between light and text to address critical subjects of ethics, agency, citizenry, and allegory.
