VSW Salon presents: Artist Margaret LeJeune

– Visual Studies Workshop’s first Salon of the Spring 2023 season features an online studio visit and artist talk with current VSW Project Space artist, Margaret LeJeune, January 26th (online)

LeJeune is an image-maker, curator, and educator from Rochester, New York. Working predominantly with photographic-based mediums, LeJeune explores our precarious relationship to the natural world. Her current project, Thirteen Hours to Fall, examines the climate crisis through investigations of contemporary and future littoral zones. This multi-media work includes collage, salted paper prints, video, and sculptural book form. LeJeune will be in conversation with VSW Assistant Curator Hernease Davis.

This event will take place from 7 – 9pm on Thursday, January 26th, online at twitch.tv. The talk will stream live and be made available to watch online for a limited time online. No registration is required.

The VSW Salon is a bi-monthly engagement in the VSW microcinema featuring film screenings, artist talks, Community Curator events, performances, photo presentations and conversations. The VSW Salon showcases the work of local and national artists, and invites them to present their work in an intimate “microcinema” equipped to show 16mm, Super 8, digital photography and video on state of the art equipment.
