This Saturday, November 14, on the occasion of the exhibition "American Artists from the Russian Empire", I am participating in a lecture at the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park. I was invited by Alexander Jarman, Public Programs Manager for the museum. It is very interesting for me to work on the presentation, it makes me go through a lot of photos of my work, including the earlier work. it's exciting to share this presentation with Marisol Rendon and Shadab Zeest Hashmi!

From the SDMA website:

Join Michele Guieu, Shadab Zeest Hashmi, and Marisol Rendón—artists originally from France, Pakistan, and Colombia, respectively—as they discuss the impact their cultural identity has had on their work.


After the discussion, join Museum Educators for a workshop inspired by the art of Russian-born American abstract sculptor Louise Nevelson.
