A Conversation with Artist Ann Diener

A Conversation with Artist Ann Diener

Wednesday, November 10, 2010 / 4:00 PM
University Art Museum

Artist Ann Diener will lead an informal gallery walkthrough of her commissioned wall drawing at the University Art Museum and present a slide talk about her new body of work. Diener’s large-scale, abstract drawings chart and interpret the changes to and the industrialization of farmland over the past several decades in southern California.  Diener’s most recent drawings map the course of waterways and are inspired by the failure of the St. Francis Dam in 1928, California’s worst man-made disaster.   Ann Diener’s work has been shown nationally, most notably at Bank Gallery, Los Angeles; Otis College of Art and Design, Los Angeles, and the Weatherspoon Art Museum, University of North Carolina.
