The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art is pleased to present a talk with Chris Antemann, an Oregon-based artist featured in our new exhibition, The Art of Food: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation. The talk will be followed by the exhibition’s opening reception.
Chris Antemann is known for her contemporary parodies of 18th Century porcelain figurines. Since 2011, she has worked in collaboration with the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory, traveling back and forth between Germany and her home in the mountains of Eastern Oregon. During the pandemic, Antemann stayed in her US studio, using the technical skills she learned over the years at MEISSEN to build the largest, most complex sculpture to date.
The Art of Food was organized by the University of Arizona Museum of Art and curated by Olivia Miller, Curator of Collections. Support for this exhibition and related education and outreach programs has been made possible by a grant from Jordan Schnitzer through The Harold and Arlene CARE Foundation
