Jan. 02, 2026 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.

Russel Crotty, Art & Astronomy (Bruce) Since 1990, Russell Crotty's vast body of work challenges the preconceptions of drawing as primary medium, exploring and expanding the notion of “works on paper” and pushing the genre towards minimal sculptural installation. His practice chronicles an idiosyncratic commentary on astronomy, landscape, and the natural and manmade world, resulting in an extensive oeuvre of drawings, collages, paintings, large-scale books, and drawings on paper-coated suspended globes.
