Artist John Noestheden presented a talk at McMaster Museum of Art on October 23, 2013 in his sterrenstof exhibition, which is on view until 14 December 2013. He talked about his work, the cosmos, the significance of #108, beauty, and so much more.

Enjoy! John begins to speak at the 3:36 min mark, following an introduction by Ihor Holubizky our Senior Curator.

John Noestheden was born in Amsterdam, and came to Canada as a child. He received his BFA and MFA, respectively, from the University of Windsor and Tulane University, New Orleans. He has shown nationally and internationally in solo and group exhibitions. Recently, a collaborative work with Cape Dorset artist Shuvinai Ashoona was shown at the 2012 Biennale of Sydney and Sakahàn: International Indigenous Art at the National Gallery of Canada in 2013. His works are represented in public collections across Canada. A retired professor from the University of Regina, Noestheden now lives in Hamilton, Ontario.
