Artist’s lecture is rescheduled

YOUNGSTOWN

A free lecture by artist James Siena at the McDonough Museum auditorium at Youngstown State University has been rescheduled to April 18 at 5:10 p.m. The lecture was originally scheduled for March 21 but was canceled due to inclement weather.

Siena is an American artist based in New York. His art is typically created through a series of self-imposed constraints also sometimes referred to as visual algorithms — rules Siena decides on before sitting down to work. In most of his work he establishes a basic unit and action and repeats it indefinitely.

“At a certain point I wanted to make drawings and works that act as machines,” he said. “You have to find your way into them and find your way out of them. As you undo the making of them they come to life.”
