Leopold Plotek’s Artist Talk – Video
September 15, 2014
Leopold Plotek is both artist and co-curator (with Ben Portis) of the exhibition Workingman’s Dead: Lives of the Artists, now on view at the McMaster Museum of Art. He is also an instructor of painting and drawing in the Studio Art Program at Concordia University.
After the Workingman’s Dead exhibition was installed at McMaster in late August, Leopold spoke about it and his painting before heading back to Montreal to teach. We’re grateful to him and to the MacLaren Art Centre for allowing us to share the video of that talk, interspersed with images, many from the SOVFOTO photography collection.
