Martha McDonald, Howorth Speaker for 2018

Artist Talk – Friday, January 26th at 1pm, in AC 215

The Weeping Dress (photo curtesy of the artist).

Martha McDonald is an interdisciplinary artist whose performances and installations feature handcrafted costumes and objects that she activates through gestures of making and unmaking and singing to transmit narrative. McDonald’s practice often focuses on site-specific “interventions” in historic house museums, libraries and gardens which investigate the sites and their stories to explore how these public places connect with personal histories and emotional states.

McDonald is the Howorth Speaker for 2018, a prestigious lecture series that has hosted speakers such as Linda Weintraub, Mary D. Garrard, and Jane Hammond. McDonald will be doing a presentation in the spring Performance Art class and conducting studio visits with current upperclassmen in the studio department.
