Artist Talk, Kirsten Stolle | Only You Can Prevent A Forest

Join the Halsey Institute at 2 p.m. for an artist talk featuring Kirsten Stolle in conversation with Halsey Institute director Katie Hirsch on the occasion of Stolle’s exhibition, Only You Can Prevent A Forest. Using appropriation, wordplay, and humor, Kirsten Stolle co-opts advertising strategies used by agrichemical corporations to resurface and critique company history. For her exhibition, Stolle has created photo-based collages, visual poetry interventions, text-based sound animation, a neon wall piece, and her first site-responsive sculptural installation. Building upon her decade-long research into companies like Bayer/Monsanto and Dow Chemical, the work will forefront historical ties to chemical warfare and reveal persistent greenwashing.
