Internationally recognized artist Janet Echelman will deliver a public talk about her work at 6 p.m. April 23 at the Historic Fox Theatre in Springfield, Missouri.

Immediately after her talk, Echelman will sign copies of “Radical Softness: The Responsive Art of Janet Echelman,” edited by Gloria Sutton.

The Reynolds College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities; the Department of Art and Design; Sculpture Walk Springfield; the History Museum on the Square and Bookmarx are co-sponsoring the event.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for not only the university community but also the greater Springfield community,” said Dr. Andrew Wasserman, assistant professor of art history. “As we think about the roles that art plays in society, the chance to hear from an artist directly gives all of us a chance to consider how we see and move through our local spaces.”
