Wit Lopez on breaking the fourth wall

By December 22, 2017
Wit Lopez is a fiber artist, performer and independent curator whose work encourages audiences to touch, manipulate and even wear it. Artblog’s Imani Roach spoke with this former theater kid about accessibility, performing for the camera and confronting their body as a spectacle. Can marginalized artists use humor to subvert their relationship to art institutions? Listen to find out. Imani interviewed Wit at Moore College of Art and Design's TGMR radio station on December 12th, 2017; the podcast is 34 minutes long.

The central arch in the middle distance frames a wooden framed window on the back wall that has small square panes set within a series of five peaked arches, this window is surrounded by a red wall that is covered with 14 artworks, including portraits and landscapes as well as stone objects and text related to each but too small to read. In front of the window are two marble sculptures one of a figure bending sideways and away from the view and the other is an small owl like creature.
