SUMMARY:Artist Ellie Ga explores themes of History and Memory\, screening and discussion
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Center for Visual Culture\, Special 
 Collections welcomes artist Ellie Ga to campus virtually (during the 
 current school year) and in person with a residency (as soon as that is 
 possible). While in residence\, Ga will "comb" Special Collections in the 
 process of producing a new work of art\, commissioned for the College. 
 Before then\, she wants to connect with us by sharing her work and 
 conversing with community members as she gets to know Bryn Mawr. \n\nThe 
 first virtual event is a screening at 12:30pm on March 10 of her piece\, 
 Strophe\, A Turning (2017\, 37 min.)\, with a virtual studio visit and 
 conversation between the artist and Bryn Mawr faculty members Lisa Saltzman 
 (History of Art) and Madhavi Kale (History).\n\nRegister for ZOOM link 
 here.\n\nPlease visit our related website to learn more about all Ellie Ga 
 related events and activities at Bryn Mawr College as they are 
 scheduled.\n\nPlease also view Sayed\, a work by Ellie Ga\, made available 
 by the artist and her gallery through the Center for Visual Culture's 
 Virtual VIsual Culture event series.\n\n***\n\nEllie Ga (b. 1976) is an 
 American artist living in Sweden. Her work is included in collections at 
 the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, and 
 Bard College. Her most recent work\, Gyres 1-3 (2019)\, was a commission 
 for the Whitney Biennial and was reviewed in The New York Times and 
 Artnews. Art historian Tom McDonough (SUNY-Binghamton) wrote about it for 
 the fall 2019 issue of Osmos Magazine.\n\nGa works between memoir\, 
 travelogue\, and visual essay connecting ideas and presenting them as 
 multichannel videos or performances with live narration. Her recent film 
 Gyres 1-3 (2019) looks at water as the site of political exile\, religious 
 pilgrimage\, and forced migration across the Aegean Sea. Her working 
 process is a kind of “beach-combing” that embraces chance encounter 
 with artifacts and how they find their way to her. It involves extended 
 periods of research\, including conversations with people in roles\, such 
 as museum directors\, scholars\, or Arctic explorers. Her interests are 
 interdisciplinary and cross-temporal. She speaks of her work as a 
 collection of chance encounters\, what is lost (and accrued) in translating 
 between spoken and written words\, and archaeological discovery.\n\nGa will 
 be in residence at Bryn Mawr College twice during the 2021-22 academic year 
 and virtually throughout the 2020-21 school year. Throughout this process\, 
 we hope you will join us in a collective note-keeping practice\, responding 
 to your own experience of Ga's work and the chance encounters you collect 
 along the way. \n\nJoin Meeting:
