Flaten Art Museum Lunchtime Artist Conversation with John Saurer

The St. Olaf Community is welcome to join Professor of Art John Saurer for an informal conversation in the galleries about the work in his retrospective exhibition, John Saurer: Let it Loose. Food is not allowed in the galleries, but bring a lunch and stick around for an optional community meal in The Link.

John Saurer: Let it Loose celebrates St. Olaf College Professor of Art John Saurer’s fruitful artistic career as he marks 29 years of teaching at the college. Saurer’s work is notable in its technical variety, spanning sculpture, drawing, installation, and printmaking. Printmaking–Saurer’s primary teaching area–has a unique capacity for reproducibility, an approach that echoes throughout Saurer’s work in other media. Cast elements, repeated forms, and matrixes with individual components that create a larger whole express the artist’s attraction to repetition, order, and technical refinement.
