A Conversation with Raphael Rubinstein and Sharon Butler

Saturday, October 8, at 2PM at Jennifer Baahng Gallery

On October 8, 2022, noted poet and art critic Raphael Rubinstein sat down with gallery artist Sharon Butler to discuss “Next Moves” (Sept 15 – Nov 15, 2022) , Sharon Butler’s latest solo exhibition at JENNIFER BAAHNG. In this BAAHNG SPOTLIGHT, Rubinstein and Butler discuss Butler’s subtle explorations of painting vernacular, in particular, her use of digital sketches as the ground for a recent series of luminous, gridded works. Raphael Rubinstein is a professor of Critical Studies at the University of Houston School of Art.
