This week, Lesley Art and Design will host a lecture series featuring four artists, critics, writers, and art historians.

On Monday, artist Matt Saunders will speak on his work. Grounded in painting, Saunders’ work makes porous and provocative relationships with other forms, especially photography, printmaking and installations of animated films. Says the artist of his work, “I strive to embody the fleeting images—to embed them inseparably in their materials and have them speak of those materials.” Saunders has shown his work at MoMA, the Whitney Museum, Tate Liverpool, the Guggenheim, among other museums. His work is represented by Marian Goodman Gallery of New York, London and Paris.

All lectures will be held in the lower level screening room at Lesley University’s University Hall building in Porter Square.
