Art Talks at Brand invites contemporary artists to discuss their work and the issues surrounding it. This talk features Chanel Von Habsburg-Lothringen.
Art Talks at Brand invites contemporary artists to discuss their work and the issues surrounding it, followed by a moderated Q&A with Brand staff member, artist, and writer Jennifer Remenchik. Artists are selected to reflect the diversity of the art scene of the greater Los Angeles area.
Chanel Von Habsburg-Lothringen (b. 1989, Detroit, MI) is a photographic artist whose work engages the American duality of aspiration and desperation, systems of power, the cinematic, and the abject. In her practice she has developed a research-based and systematic approach to production by creating her own image database. By layering references both personal and collective, she creates spaces where beauty becomes a form of confrontation and ornament becomes a language of dissent. Rather than offering resolution, the artist welcomes sustained looking and quiet discomfort, asking viewers to consider what remains when power is stripped of its certainty, and what new forms can emerge in its place. Von Habsburg-Lothringen holds an MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BA in Social Science and History of Art from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Her work has been exhibited at: The Box, BozoMag, Cranbrook Museum of Art, Lauren Powell Projects, NADA New York, Material Fair, Detroit Independent Film Festival, and Royal Albert Hall. She co-founded EMBASSY and has curated projects at museums and festivals.
The series is sponsored by the Brand Associates and is free and open to the public. Arrive early to view the current exhibition, Neighborhood Ecology, presented in partnership with Glendale Unified School District.
