Artist Talk: Alexandra Beaumont

All are invited to attend Minneapolis artist Alexandra Beaumont’s artist talk exploring her methods and artistic influences – from house music to parades, textile design to self-adornment. Beaumont’s artistic practice explores the expressive power and possibility of dance through large-scale textile collages and exuberant parties. Her collages combine sheer fabric, appliqué, beading, sequins, and hand embroidery to create depictions of figures in motion. Suspended from the ceiling, the figures flutter and wave in response to movement from passers-by, echoing the exuberance of dancing together.

This event is presented in conjunction with Beaumont’s solo exhibition, Techniques for Ecstasy, on view from February 14 – April 6 at the Flaten Art Museum, and the St. Olaf Department of Art and Art History’s 2025 Flaten Artist Lecture Series. This event is free and open to the public. Plan your visit to the Flaten Art Museum.
