Stephen Talasnik: FLOE

Philadelphia native Stephen Talasnik has built an artistic career by exploring the links between drawing and building. His work is site-specific, occupying a scale that blurs the line between sculpture and architecture. In Archaeology of Architecture, Talasnik will focus on the traditional use of wood-based archeological artifacts, creating a hand-woven habitat of wood and reed that responds directly to the Center’s gallery space and streetscape. With community-based performance actions taking place throughout the run of the exhibition, Talasnik invites visitors to consider their physical and spiritual perspective in relationship to art and architecture.
