will give a public lecture "After the Invention of Clouds", part of the Artists Now! series of Peck School of the Arts in Milwaukee on November 19 and 20. Working in mixed media and installation, Frid's works are material responses to existing images, nomenclature systems, impressions, and things in the world. Her work alludes to the dual thoroughness and elusiveness of sensuality, to the agency and pleasure of thing-making, and to the irreducibility of art.
