Enter the lecture through the Cra nbrook Academy of Art Library doors.\n\nThroughout his materially innovati ve and richly conceptual practice\, Jay Heikes continuously reimagines an atlas of signs and symbols and stories\, largely of his own devising. Draw ing on art’s divergent histories—from the material and alchemical preo ccupations of Arte Povera to the revolutionary critique of Russian Constru ctivism to the Romantic fascination with the sublime—Heikes examines the mes of evolution and regeneration\, stasis and corrosion\, entropy and tra nsformation.\n\nAcknowledging that there are no truly new ideas to be had \, Heikes turns to what has already been\; his practice is in a continual state of borrowing\, transposing\, appropriating\, and reinterpreting old ideas and forms and narratives using a kaleidoscopic array of media\, rema ining perpetually open to transformation within his work and within himsel f.\n\n\n\n\nHeikes’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at th e Joslyn Art Museum\, Omaha\, NE\; the Berkeley Art Museum &\; Pacific Film Archive\, CA\; the Aspen Art Museum\, CO\; and the Institute of Conte mporary Art Philadelphia\, PA.
