Kendricken Memorial Lecture series continues Nov. 20

The Kendricken Memorial Lecture Series at Fitchburg State University will welcome artist Georgie Friedman for “Light, Video and Experiential Art” at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20 in room G19 of Hammond Hall. The talk is free and open to the public. A reception will follow the talk.

Georgie Friedman's work combines science and research with the metaphoric and emotional. She bases her projects on a range of powerful atmospheric, oceanic, and geologic conditions including: hurricanes, space weather, sea level rise, glacier retreat, and volcanic activity. She travels and films on location, then digitally reframes the natural elements utilizing site-specific video installation, single and multi-channel videos, sound, photographic series, and sculptural elements, all to construct new experiences for viewers.

In this talk, Friedman will present the evolution, research, and process behind creating a selection of her works from the last 14 years.

The Kendricken Memorial Lecture Series is hosted by the university’s Communications Media Department. This lecture is funded by generous support from the Kendricken family and is named for the 2013 alumnus who died in 2014. Kendricken is remembered as an extraordinary individual, whose prodigious energy fueled a boundless curiosity. Foremost among his many passions were film, music, and literature. The lecture series brings in artists whose work and spirit resonate with Kendricken’s legacy to the Fitchburg State community.
