All Things Being Equal (But Not the Same): A Conversation with Wendell Castle

11 am – 12 pm Room 327
The award-winning and leading figure in American furniture art, Wendell Castle challenges us to reconsider the value of objects that populate our lives.  His heterogeneous body of work, spanning over fifty years, continues to test the conventions of art, design, and craft production. In conversation with Michael Golec, Associate Professor of Art & Design History and Director of Graduate Studies, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Castle discusses selected works in the forthcoming Wendell Castle: Catalogue Raisonné, the changing nature of the art market, and his creative process.
