6.5 Minutes With…C21 is back!
In our first new episode since May 2023, C21 director Jennifer Johung spends 6.5 minutes with Yevgeniya Kaganovich, a Belarus-born, Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based artist and professor at UWM’s Peck School of the Arts.
Kaganovich discusses her on-going projects and installations at the Lyden Sculpture Garden and explains the implications of tree time, earth time, and human time within the context of C21’s theme of Slow Knowing.
Her collaborative research and art project, Slow Growing in the Time of Trees, explores three archetypes – trees, paper, and chairs – through their own unique perspectives. She asks speculative questions in search of physical answers. Like, does paper remember being a tree?
