Artist Evan Holloway will speak at 6 p.m. Feb. 8 in the Student Union Bishop Barnwell Room as part of the Boise State University Visual Arts Center Visiting Artist and Scholar Program. The lecture is free and parking is available in the Student Union visitor parking lot.

Holloway, who lives in Los Angeles, creates sculptures that investigate the ways ideas, feelings and theories are projected onto objects by the people who view them. His works betray a simultaneous love and mistrust of art objects. Commenting on a work from his recent New York debut, New York Times art critic Roberta Smith said “the prospect that Mr. Holloway find the form-content duality as stupid as he makes it look is comforting.”

His work was included in the 2002 Whitney Biennial and was recently shown at the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum in the exhibition “The Uncertainty of Objects and Ideas,” curated by Anne Ellegood.

The Visiting Artist and Scholar Program is sponsored by the Idaho Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. For more information, call Kirsten Furlong at (208) 426-3994.
