Internationally known installation artist Judy Pfaff who, according to faculty member Meg Ojala, "dissolves boundaries between media in inventive and evocative ways," will speak about her work Monday, Nov. 12, at 7 p.m. in Buntrock Commons, Viking Theater. The event is free and open to the public.

Pfaff was one of four artists who were recently profiled on the PBS program Art:21, a series about visual art in the 21st century. She also has been reviewed in the New York Times and The New Yorker, which calls her "one of the pioneers of installation art" who "helped pave the way for younger artists like Sze and Jessica Stockholder by first conflating painting and sculpture and then combining it with a scavenger impulse."
