Jan Fisher Memorial Lecture featuring Patsy Cox

ASU Art Museum's fall 2016 Jan Fisher Memorial Lecture will be given by Los Angeles-based artist Patsy Cox. 

Her artwork, which has been widely exhibited both nationally and internationally, revolves around massive installations of thousands of intricate handcrafted objects. These ceramic objects are representations of the urban landscape, the mixtures of culture, race,  and identity and a comment on how these factors appear in a particular space as defined by its confines and surroundings.

Cox is Professor of Visual Art and Head of Ceramics at California State University, Northridge where she has served as Associate Chair and Graduate Coordinator for Visual Arts. She has been a Getty Scholar for the Linking Service Learning and the Visual Arts program and has coordinated courses for the CSU Summer Arts program. She has served as President for the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) 2010-2016 and has participated in the Annenberg Alchemy and Alchemy+ programs for non-profit excellence.

The Jan Fisher Memorial Lecture series is named in honor of Jan Fisher, an ASU art history graduate student who passed away in February 2006. The lecture series brings both established and emerging women ceramic artists to the Phoenix community.
