Nemer’s lecture will offer an overview of twenty years of professional practice; identifying core themes, impulses, and expressive strategies, with the goal of tracing the artistic lineages that lead to his project at the Flaten Art Museum, and giving a context for his work with the College’s chamber ensemble. Nemer will screen excerpts of videos, play fragments of audio pieces, and show documentation of a range of performative projects, concentrating on how themes of calling, translation, mediation, and acts of repair appear throughout his oeuvre. He will also highlight the way his passion for queer history, pop music, and flower arranging play a role in the development of his artistic aesthetics.
