Artist Matthew Ronay discusses his realizations about abstraction after being introduced to a book, The Science of the Dogon, which observes the Dogon tribe from Mali who have no written language but express their understanding of science through sculpture. Watch the full video here: https://nashersc.org/2SXcQyw Ronay’s presentation will chart the realization that nature is fundamental to his work, describing how the artist envisions his inspirations as a zig-zagging thread of artists and scientists from the 18th century to the present whose works reflect natural phenomena consciously or unconsciously. Ronay also proposes the possibility that inherited memories of the genesis and evolution of life recapitulate themselves in abstract works of sculpture and painting.
