Please join us virtually for a discussion with Jill Sebastian on her current exhibition at Saint Kate!

Join us virtually for a discussion with Milwaukee-based artist Jill Sebastian!

Sebastian will discuss her current exhibition at Saint Kate, Preoccupations, a solo show that spans across two Saint Kate galleries to address ongoing preoccupations throughout her life, both material and historical. Preoccupations articulates the artist’s own experiences of recurrent historical events as a way of investigating our shared cultural, social, and public spaces. Through her bold exploration of artistic media, Sebastian’s works alter our understanding of firmly-entrenched visual concepts such as perspective, while also engaging our subliminal associations with materials.

Please get in touch with Saint Kate Curator, Samantha Timm, with any questions at SamanthaTimm@saintkatearts.com

With extensive experience in public art installations, one of her public collaborations include a site-specific installation and multimedia work created with Wild Space Dance Company at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Sebastian is the recipient of several awards including the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship (1985) and the Visual Art Lifetime Achievement Award (2016). Sebastian is a Professor Emerita at Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design.
