Artists Connect: Adelheid Mers Connects with Carl Blechen

Carl Blechen's Interior of the Palm House at Pfaueninsel near Potsdam (1834) serves as a point of departure for Adelheid Mers's presentation, in which the artist explains the evolution of her ambitious and often interactive diagrams that derive from a personal engagement with text and image. Artists Connect is a regularly scheduled series of lectures given by Chicago-area artists. In these illustrated talks, artists describe their own work in relation to one or several works in the collection of the Art Institute. This podcast is brought to you by the Ancient Art Podcast.
