Hear from nationally renowned artist Anne Harris on her ongoing drawing project “The Mind’s I,” which explores the complexities of perception and self-perception.

Harris debuted “The Mind’s I” in 2012 at Julius Caesar Gallery, an artist-run project space in Chicago. Since then, drawing events and exhibitions have occurred in the United States and worldwide.

The Galleries at Herron School of Art and Design presents Harris’ talk in conjunction with the exhibition “Anne Harris: The Mind’s I,” on view in Eskenazi Hall’s Basile Gallery from April 4 through April 26. The show is the culmination of a series of self-portrait exercises by Herron and Indianapolis artists.

“The Mind’s I” is supported by a grant from the Welcoming Campus Innovation (Re)Building Community through Engagement Fund.
