Artist Spencer Finch in Conversation

Multidisciplinary artist Spencer Finch joins Sarah Newman, James Dicke Curator of Contemporary Art at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, in conversation about his body of work. Finch is best known for his large-scale, site-specific works that explore changing landscapes, such as the Hudson River and Great Salt Lake. Through his work, he touches on the ideas of memory, environmentalism, the passage of time, and perception of experience. In this conversation, Finch discusses his creative process as well as the ways in which environmentalism connects to what he does. This program was presented in person and online on Monday, April 15, 2024, in partnership with Smithsonian Associates.
