Art Talk featuring sculptor Mia Feuer, new media artist John Peña and photographer Wendal A. White

Through her massive pieces, Mia Feuer’s creates illusions of architectural elements like bridges, cranes and military checkpoints in states of potential or collapse. John Peña’s outrageous projects include outrunning a cloud, mailing letters to the Pacific Ocean every day for the last seven years and creating a pirate radio station that plays the sounds of extinct birds. Wendel A. White images relate to the abolition of slavery, Reconstruction, and the civil rights era. –Sally Deskins
