PENTIMENTO : A LECTURE
Sat. July 11, 3:30 p.m.
@ Minnesota Center for Book Arts

Lecture made possible by a partnership between Susan Hensel Gallery and Minnesota Center for Book Arts.

Bridging the gap between narrative sculpture, bookmaking, and the abstract theories of the composer/artist John Cage, Claire Jeanine Satin brings only a handful of the over 100 book-like objects that make up her series Pentimento to Susan Hensel Gallery for the remainder of the summer. Ms. Satin’s work is challenging, complex, and most of all enchanting. Exploring avenues of language and iconography through dense layers of typography, image, and lots and lots of acetate, Satin’s Pentimento series is something that no photographic documentation can do justice.

The opening, held on the 10th of July was a cozy bunch of attendees that got to her Ms. Satin’s logic behind hear work, and enjoy the bewildering nature of her creations up-close-and-personal.

Don’t miss the chance to see these pieces while they still bless us with their presence!
