ArtTalks—Matthew Ritchie

The following illustrated video segments are excerpted from a public lecture that artist Matthew Ritchie gave on April 25, 2007, at the National Arts Club as part of the AFA’s lecture series ArtTalks. During his hour-long talk, Ritchie discussed artists who have influenced his work and his thoughts about where his art fits in the historical continuum. His PowerPoint presentation included charts illustrating some of his complex, multidisciplinary theories, as well as installation views of his work at the Andrea Rosen Gallery in New York and on the walls of the aquatic facility at MIT.

ArtTalks are public presentations that feature some of the most influential figures in the art world.
