Titus Kaphar' The Vesper Project Opening & Artist Gallery Talk at Lowe Art Museum

Sep 8, 2016, 7 PM

The Vesper Project is the culmination of Titus Kaphar’s intensive engagement with the fictional history of the Vespers, a 19th-century New England family. The resulting project, which features the remains of an abandoned Connecticut home into which the artist has incorporated his own work, interrogates notions of race, identity, memory, and social constructs. The Vesper Project obliterates the distance between viewer and work, and is as immersive as it is experiential.

Titus Kaphar (b. 1976 in Michigan) His artworks interact with the history of art by appropriating its styles and mediums. Kaphar received an MFA from the Yale School of Art, and is the distinguished recipient of the Gwendolyn Knight and Jacob Lawrence Fellowship. His work has been included in solo and group exhibitions at Savannah College of Art and Design, Savannah, GA, the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York, NY and the Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, WA.
