In her ongoing exhibition, “Revelations and Transformation, Layers of Memory,” local artist Patricia Moss-Vreeland explores memory “as a meditation on who we are.” On June 20, she’ll invite members of the Penn Memory Center community to do the same.
Join PMC’s Felicia Greenfield and Moss-Vreeland for a free, one-time workshop sponsored by PMC. Guests will learn to become “creators through the lens of memory,” said Moss-Vreeland, who will also lead a guided tour of the exhibition. The workshop is open to PMC patients, research participants, and caregivers, and we can accommodate up to 20 guests.
Time: 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Date: June 20, 2017
Place: Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine, Second Floor, South Pavilion
RSVP: Felicia Greenfield at 215-662-4523 or felicia.greenfield@uphs.upenn.edu
*Light refreshments will be provided.*
Moss-Vreeland’s exhibition is currently on display in the Penn Memory Center’s “Art of the Mind” Gallery, where it will remain until October. Her works stand as visual responses to what memory is and how it functions. Using photography, drawings, paintings, poetry, and other mixed media, memory becomes a portal to creativity.
Moss-Vreeland has had works exhibited nationally at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Institute of Contemporary Art. Her art resides in permanent collections at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and The Norton Museum. She is the author of the book, “A Place for Memory: Where Art and Science Meet,” published in 2013.
