Artists Brett Cook and Wendy Ewald will lead “A Dialogue on Art and Social Collaboration” at Duke University's Nasher Museum of Art, March 17, 2008. Photographer Wendy Ewald and painter Brett Cook first worked together in 1999, when Ewald invited Cook to work with teachers in Durham, N.C. Since then they have been discussing and refining the ways in which they make collaborative art. Last fall, at Amherst College, they created their first public installation/exhibition together. In Monday's dialogue, they will describe how they each formerly conceived and carried out a collaborative project, one that involved constructing rich, welcoming environments for their community partners to work in – in addition to making their own photographs and paintings. The event is part of the "Engaging Documentary: Community Values and Artistic Visions" series by the Center for Documentary Studies. [LINK]
