SUMMARY:CAM After Dark: “The Shape of Air” Gallery Talk with A.V. Rankin
DESCRIPTION:CAM After Dark: “The Shape of Air” Gallery Talk with A.V. Rankin\nThursday\, July 9\, 6:30–7:30 PM\n\n\nHughes Wing \nFree with museum admission \nStudents free with valid ID\n \n\n\nSpend the evening with artist A.V. Rankin for a gallery talk exploring the cultural and artistic history of inflatable sculpture and air-based forms.\n\n\n \nDrawing connections among works by Andy Warhol\, Mike Kelley\, Nick Cave\, and artists featured in Fresh Air: Inflatable Sculptures\, Rankin will examine how air functions as both a material and a symbol across art\, technology\, and the collective imagination.\n\n\n \nDiscover how softness\, mass-produced objects\, and cultural ephemera challenge traditional ideas of sculpture. The conversation will also consider inflatables as objects of tenderness and vulnerability\, positioned between ecological awareness and social experimentation.\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist\n \n\n\n\nAna Vizcarra Rankin (A.V.) is a Uruguayan-American artist whose work explores the intersections of art\, science\, environmental stewardship\, and human perception. Through painting\, drawing\, installation\, and participatory projects\, she investigates how mapping\, data visualization\, astronomy\, and material culture shape our understanding of the world and our place within it. Rankin’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally\, and is held in numerous public collections including the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Museum\, Brandywine River Museum of Art\, and the Uruguay Cultural Foundation for the Arts.\n \nA.V. (pronounced Ay-vee) works from Painted Foot Art Lab in downtown Wilmington\, NC. She is the founder of BDG International\, a curatorial exchange program dedicated to grassroots collaboration and cultural exchange\, and serves as part-time Faculty in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
