Serpents, Ships and A-Frames: The Art of Robert Stackhouse
Ogden Museum of Southern Art Executive Director J. Richard Gruber, Ph. D. to speak on Florida artist Robert Stackhouse.
J. Richard Gruber, Ph. D., Executive Director of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and widely acknowledged expert on Southern Art, will speak on the past work, and current collaborations with videographer Carol Mickett, of renowned artist Robert Stackhouse.
Robert Stackhouse, one of the South's foremost contemporary artists, is known for his large-scale architectural paintings and sculptures conveying evocative passageways and structures -- often dealing with themes of transition and journeys. His works, primarily architectural in nature, profoundly highlight the razor thin lines between physical structures and their ephemeral humanistic qualities. His works are included in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Contemporary Art, The Walker Art Center, and The Art Institute of Chicago among many others.
Carol Mickett, who holds a Ph.D. in philosophy, is an award winning filmmaker, poet and writer. Her most recent work includes directing History Speaks, a video archive of the history of Kansas City and serving as producer/writer for Uniquely Kansas City, a five-part documentary for Kansas City Public Television.
Carol Mickett and Robert Stackhouse had their first collaboration in 1999 when she produced and directed the prize winning film, Robert Stackhouse: an Artist at Work. The project not only showed Mickett and Stackhouse how well they worked together, it also led to their marriage. The two have been collaborating ever since.
The St. Petersburg couple is currently involved in projects in Orlando, Seattle, and Indianapolis.
