Artist’s Talk by John Noestheden

McMaster Museum of Art
Wednesday, October 23, 2:30 – 3:20 PM

ABOUT THE ARTIST

For the past twenty years, Canadian artist and Professor John Noestheden has produced works of art that are inspired by the history of astronomical observation, from the flaming tails of Halley’s comet embroidered into the Bayeux tapestry, to the latest galactic revelations from the Hubble Space Telescope.

sterrenstof, the Dutch word for “stardust,” is an installation of new work by John Noestheden, now on view at McMaster Museum of Art. It continues his interest in the cosmos and origins, as it reflects upon our sense of being in the “order of things”.

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.

This talk is presented as part of the Spotlight on the Arts year-long series of events and performances. The series is meant to highlight McMaster’s work in the fine and performing arts, music and more.
