Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design

The VASD Program’s ATTENTION Series continues with artist, writer, and filmmaker Jill Magid. Magid’s interdisciplinary practice has included creating a diamond ring from the ashes of the celebrated Mexican architect Luis Barragán in a provocative proposal in order to bring his professional archives back to his native home. Her Artist Talk will focus on her recent project, Tender in which she put 120,000 pennies into circulation as a comment on borders, value, and intimacy in relation to the human body and the body politic during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ATTENTION series, presented by The Visiting Artist, Scholar, and Designer (VASD) Program, explores the ways in which taking notice can make the invisible suddenly visible, as if by magic. And artists and designers are expert magicians. Their methods and work direct the audience’s attention to the mundane, the overlooked, the misunderstood, and the disregarded, recreating the artist’s experience of discovery in the viewer. Catalyzed by a year of reckonings that helped redefine our values and relationships, and inspired by art’s transformative ability to take notice, this series pays attention to attention.Learn more<a href="https://www.rmcad.edu/vasd-lecture/attention/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> here.</a>The VASD Program explores critical, diverse, and creative inquiry.
