In the final weeks of Dawoud Bey’s Evergreen film installation at Orlando Museum of Art, the artist comes to Orlando to talk about his work for a not-to-be-missed afternoon.
Bey converses with OMA curator Coralie Claeysen-Gleyzon on themes of “Landscape, History, and Memory.” The free artist talk on Access for All Day also includes a poetry performance from Justin Lang.
Bey’s Evergreen is a triptych video installation of haunting footage Bey filmed on the Evergreen Plantation of Wallace, Louisiana.
“Evergreen is the most undisturbed plantation landscape in the country,” Bey told Nola.com. “There’s a presence that you feel when you’re at Evergreen that is undeniable. There is a spirit that clings to that site more heavily than any of the other sites.” He’ll tell you more this week, surely.
2 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 18, Orlando Museum of Art, 2416 N. Mills Ave., omart.org, free.
