This week, we’re taking VALS out of Prentis with two very special events that are not to be missed! On Tuesday, October 23rd, Fred Tomaselli has graciously invited us into his studio to view works in progress. On Thursday, October 25th, we will get a preview/ walkthrough with Mark Bradford of his upcoming show at Sikkema Jenkins. Details for both will be sent via email. Due to capacity limitations at both venues, these sessions will be limited to Columbia MFA Visual Arts students.
Fred Tomaselli was born in Santa Monica, California in 1956. He has been included in numerous group exhibitions including the Berlin Biennale, the Whitney Biennial, the Site Santa Fe Biennial, Prospect.1 New Orleans and the Sydney Biennale. Solo exhibition venues include the Whitney, the Albright-Knox Gallery of Art in Buffalo, Site Santa Fe, New Mexico and the Brooklyn Museum. His work can be found in the collections of the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, LACMA, MoCA LA, the MoMA and the Whitney. Tomaselli is represented by James Cohan Gallery in the United States and by White Cube Gallery in the UK. He lives and works in Brooklyn.
