SUMMARY:Speed Salon: Talks + Theory 
DESCRIPTION:Speed Salon: Talks + Theory  \nA quarterly Wednesday for curious minds and cultural conversation  \nCost: $20/non-member adult\, $15/member adult\, $5/student\n \nREGISTER\nSpeed Salon brings together artists\, scholars\, filmmakers\, and cultural thinkers for engaging talks and conversation. Each session features a presentation followed by Q&A\, offering attendees the chance to think deeply\, ask questions\, and engage with contemporary ideas and creative work. The program is designed for adults\, students\, and those who enjoy focused discussion in a supportive environment.  \nGallery admission is not included.  \nSpeaker: Negarra A. Kudumu\nTitle: What Awaits Us will be\, Black \nWhat awaits Us is the moniker for the conceptual lens of the reimagination of the African Diasporic Art collection. Curatorial Assistant\, Sirene Martin is engaging in a temporal exploration of Black culture from the continent to the diaspora. Inspired by the notion of time’s spirality\, as set forth by the Bakongo peoples of central Africa\, this collection will be understood within the collision of the past\, present and future. Negarra’s lecture will be an astute expansion within this school of thought. \nNegarra A. Kudumu is an independent scholar and curator of contemporary art. Her curatorial interests focus on Afro-Surrealism\, Black Abstraction\, contemporary art from the Pacific Northwest\, Africa\, South Asia\, and their respective diasporas. Her scholarly interests focus on African Diasporic spiritual traditions of the Americas namely Palo Monte\, Conjure (also known as Hoodoo)\, and Haitian Vodou. More recently\, her interests have taken a turn towards philosophy (Hegel)\, Christian theology (Barth)\, and notions of wretchedness and betrayal (Fanon) as a way to better explain the conditions within which the aforementioned traditions developed\, the particular environment they sought to intervene upon\, and the specific category of tools they used to intervene upon said environment. \n \nCurator and independent scholar Negarra A. Kudumu will present a lecture exploring the central African spiritual and visual legacies represented in the collection of the Speed Art Museum. Her talk will examine the enduring influence of central African artistic traditions\, spiritual practices and cultural memory throughout the diaspora. \nVisit her website here – https://negarraakudumu.com/

The program is designed for adults\, students\, and those who enjoy focused discussion in a supportive environment.  \nCost: $20/non-member adult\, $15/member adult\, $5/student and faculty\n \nREGISTER\nTopic: Matt Weir on Work in Sculpture and the Fulcrum for Yesterday to Tomorrow: A Bronze Casting Legacy Transitions\nIn this talk\, Matt Weir explores his sculpture practice—his entry into the field\, projects\, materials\, and challenges—while connecting his development to the history of Bright Foundry and its transition to Falls Art Foundry\, a bronze casting foundry that has supported artists in Louisville and the region for 50 years. The talk will especially interest students\, beginners\, artists\, and philanthropists engaged with Louisville’s evolving sculpture scene. \nBike rack by Matt Weir\, photographed Saturday\, Aug. 8\, 2009 in downtown Louisville\, Ky. (Photo by Brian Bohannon)\n \n\nMatt Weir is a Louisville–based sculptor working in stone\, bronze\, and mixed media. His work is nurtured by a deep interest in the natural world and its influence on behavior. Through a broad material practice\, his body of artwork explores the relationships between behavior\, environment\, and identity. \nWeir graduated cum laude with a BFA from the University of Louisville Hite Art Institute in 2004\, with minors in Humanities and Art History. During this time\, he apprenticed with a diverse range of professional artists and studios\, most notably Bright Foundry\, a bronze art foundry. After Bright Foundry closed in 2016\, Weir co-organized the team that continued its legacy as Falls Art Foundry\, where he works to support\, educate\, and expose artists to the lost-wax casting process and Louisville’s unique sculptural tradition. \nNotable works from Weir’s portfolio include the 100-ton limestone land artwork Earth Measure at Bernheim Forest in Clermont; Lithostill\, a monumental stone\, copper\, and stainless steel sculpture at Maker’s Mark Distillery in Loretto; the bronze Panthera tigris at St. Xavier High School in Louisville; and Presence\, a geologically orienting “you are here” marker installed in downtown Louisville. \nFor the past twelve years\, Matt has been preoccupied with a piece of petrified wood in an ongoing body of work titled The Petrified Wood* Project. This exhaustive artwork is an effort to understand a profound object by narrating its passage through a human moment. \nWeir maintains a personal studio in Louisville. He lives near New Albany with his partner\, musician Heather Summers\, and their son\, Francis. \n\n\nwww.mweir.com\nwww.instagram.com/mpweir/\nwww.fallsartfoundry.com
