Teresita Fernández: Wayfinding

Friday, March 15 / 7 pm

Teresita Fernández, a MacArthur Foundation Fellow, visits the Norton to give an overview of her practice, the creative life, and making art in today’s world. Fernández is best known for her large-scale installations and public sculptures through which she addresses notions of landscape and cultural history. In her multi-faceted practice, the artist focuses on natural phenomena and the transformation of viewers’ perceptions. In addition to earning the MacArthur Fellowship, the artist is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, an NEA Artist’s Grant, a Louis Comfort Tiffany Biennial Award, and was the first Latina to serve on the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts. She has had numerous solo exhibitions and has produced a number of site-specific commissions. Her work can be found in collections worldwide, including the Norton Museum of Art.
