Dr. Bill Brody to TEDTalk on Art and Wilderness
Silence on the Snow: Meditations on Art and Wilderness.
The TEDTalk will tell the story of how Bill Brody came to paint alone on the glaciers in Alaska, and the lessons he learned along the way, in particular the value of silence and solitude on the pursuit of the genteel art of painting in the most forbidding of environments. Along that road, Alaska has become his intimate space.
Dr. Brody is an Emeritus Professor of Art from UAF and has worked extensively doing virtual reality development of artistic and scientific visualization.
He has work in all the major museums in Alaska, and has done several Alaska State PerCent For Art commissions.
Bill Brody has spent over 700 days on over 70 separate trips painting on location in the wilderness, almost all of it in Alaska and much of it alone. During the past 10 years he has painted on the glaciers in Denali National Park. He paints his large canvases start to finish on location.
The event will be held at the Morris Thompson Cultural & Visitor Center at 101 Dunkel St, Fairbanks on February 21, 2016 from 11 AM to 4 PM.
The few remaining seats to the live performance can be had via a corporate donation. The event will be LIVEstreamed at the NSCF Website.
