DESCRIPTION: In this talk, Julia Kunin discusses her artistic process and t
 he many influences and ideas that inform her work. She will also reflect on
  nearly two decades as part of an artistic community in Hungary.   In creat
 ing feminist and queer sculptures that reference the figure, Kunin combines
  personal symbolism with surrealism. Her work has long been influenced by t
 he decorative arts and Art Nouveau ceramics, evident in her richly glazed s
 urfaces. Within these luminous finishes, the glitter and iridescence of the
  femme fatale are transformed into a gender-fluid warrior. Interior mirrori
 ng creates a baroque visual intensity, merging body, machine, and architect
 ure. These otherworldly totems explore sexuality while incorporating pop cu
 ltural and space-age imagery.   Plan Your Visit  Admission is free. This ev
