Walking and Talking Around Architecture, Sculpture, and the Female Body
Brought to you by the Women in Architecture
Discussion with Theresa Escobedo, Evan McCarley, Jennifer Traina-Dorge, and DiverseWorks Curator Rachel Cook
This discussion takes as its point of departure Kate Gilmore and Heather Rowe's exhibition Only in Your Way. The new works in the exhibition investigate how physical and psychological spaces impact gender issues, definitions of labor, and how acts of looking and framing devices shape our contemporary world. The discussion presents architects, designers, and thinkers to present various examples of how architecture, sculpture, and the female body are physically and conceptually intertwined.
Theresa Escobedo is a multimedia artist, curator, and arts director. She received a Bachelor of Architecture degree in addition to a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Design from University of Houston. Her recent work explores such themes as time and memory, as well as considering the relationship between objects and the spaces in which we dwell.
Evan McCarley is a performance artist and co-founder of Experimental Action Performance Art Festival in Houston, Texas. She is currently one of the performers for Only In Your Way.
Jennifer Traina-Dorge is originally from New Orleans. She received her Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University. She is a registered architect and currently developing an interdisciplinary art practice in Houston.
