In Process @ The Watermill Center, an ongoing series of open rehearsals, workshops, artist talks, and studio visits, invites the East End community to explore the creative process and work of the center’s artists-in-residence. The series continues on Saturday, November 20, at 3 PM, with Robert W. Fieseler, Nene Humphrey, and Gözde İlkin.
Fieseler is a National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association “Journalist of the Year” and the author of “Tinderbox: The Untold Story of the Up Stairs Lounge Fire and the Rise of Gay Liberation” — the winner of the Louisiana Literary Award and the Edgar Award.
Humphrey’s work features sculpture, photography, drawing, video, installation, and collaborative performance. Through her practice, she focuses on the collaborative possibilities between music, art, and science. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Art in America, and ArtNews and Sculpture Magazine.
İlkin’s works are created on domestic fabrics, such as cloths and curtains, as a way to depict today‘s social and political relationships and gender issues. On the fabrics she installs her motifs and images. The artist studied painting at the Fine Arts Faculty of Mimar Sinan University and received a master’s degree at Marmara University in Istanbul, Turkey.
