SUMMARY:Friday Finds: Artist Ellie Ga researches the history of Women and Archaeology at BMC with Camilla MacKay
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 by 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\nFor 
 the second virtual event\, join Ellie as she begins her artistic research 
 in the archaeology collections with a Friday Finds conversation exploring 
 the role of women in archaeology at BMC. She will be joined by Camilla 
 MacKay\, multi-generational alumna\, archaeologist and librarian. 
 \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 
 films look 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:
