In conversation: Jason Lujan with Rhéanne Chartrand

Dates April 5.2023

On April 5, 2023, the AGG hosted a conversation between artist Jason Lujan and curator Rhéanne Chartrand, discussing Lujan’s AGG exhibition Under a Star-Filled Sky. This conversation invited audiences to tour the space virtually with Lujan and Chartrand as they discussed this particular iteration of Lujan’s creative process and the ways they intersect. Lujan explored how the exhibition fits the trajectory of his art-making, highlighting how this installation responds to place and collecting practices, while delving into his interest in the myriad of possibilities revealed when we open ourselves to other ways of looking, especially when uncovering the nuances of how different cultures approach each other as a result of travel and communication.
