Join contemporary artist timo fahler, and Kate Green, Chief Curator & Nancy E. Meinig Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, for a gallery talk in the Sun Room to celebrate the Tulsa-native’s new exhibition, his first in a museum in his home state of Oklahoma.
fahler (b. 1978), who now lives between Los Angeles, California, and Amsterdam, visited Philbrook frequently as a child. Today he is known for artworks that combine earth, stained glass, metal rebar, plaster, and other materials to speak to the history of land and labor through material and form.
timo fahler: shrug atlas features a new series of sculptures fahler produced for Philbrook, including several large-scale, colorful stained-glass objects. Incorporating references to a range of Indigenous mythologies and contemporary culture, fahler’s images and objects are grounded in the past while suggesting a future of intertwined cultural strands that explores the region’s economic, cultural, and environmental past, present, and future.
