In their lecture Jackson and Johnson address the work in Light | Drift and their history of shared interests. They provide visual and historical context for key aspects of the works in the show and present important works from past years of parallel production. Their discussion will include ideas of vision and representation, art function and practice, and relationships to meaning and rationality. Jackson and Johnson will also address the collaborative process in present and previous works.
