Artists-in-Dialogue: Eamon Ore-Giron, Lori Boornazian Diel, Steven Gullberg

Eamon Ore-Giron is coming to the Moody Center for the Arts on Thursday, November 12, for a conversation with Lori Boornazian Diel and Steven Gullberg. The talk is part of Artists-in-Dialogue, the Moody Center's signature series, which pairs an exhibiting artist with researchers from complementary fields. Each season, the series works with Rice University faculty and scholars from abroad to open new entry points into art and map the cross-disciplinary intersections of science and the humanities.

Ore-Giron is featured in Radiant Geometries: Vectors of Knowledge from the Indigenous Americas, part of the Rice Public Art Collection. His visual language draws on astral charts and pre-Colombian and Andean traditions of sky-watching to create a geometric and mathematical mode of abstraction that centers ancient systems. The conversation will be moderated by Noor Alé, and it's set up as an educational panel rather than a formal lecture.

If you're not familiar with the series, Artists-in-Dialogue is built around these conversations between an artist and researchers from other disciplines, so you'll hear Ore-Giron's work discussed from a few different angles at once. The whole thing takes place at the Moody Center for the Arts, located at Rice University, 6100 Main Street, Houston, TX 77005. It starts at 6 PM, and admission is free.
