Kirstin Lamb - Retranslation, Getting Lost & Finding the Way

Artist & Place

Episode 26 with Rhode Island based painter, Kirstin Lamb. We talk with Kirstin about her WOODS series in which we explore the layers of retranslation, interconnection and visual research to begin to know a place and capture the fleetingness of place. Kirstin studied painting at the Rhode Island School of Design, graduating with an MFA in 2005, and she received her AB in Visual Art and Literatures in English from Brown University in 2001. Kirstin’s work has been shown in venues across the country, recently showing with Gallery Naga in Boston, MA, Geary in Millerton, NY, Jennifer Terzian Gallery in Litchfield, CT, Cade Tompkins Projects in Providence, RI, the Spring Break Art Fair in NY, the Wassaic Project in Amenia, NY, the Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, MA and Providence College Galleries in Providence, RI, among others. She has attended numerous residencies such as the Wassaic Project, and the Sam and Adele Golden Foundation. To name just a few! She is also represented by Gallery Naga in Boston, MA.
This conversation had so many great nuggets to book mark and go back to! We talk about the hierarchy of genres, genre bending, painting as ecstatic 80s dance party, salon walls, hex signs, falling in love with kunstkamer, thinking in multiples, ghost forests, and the love of quirky taxonomies.
