"Patricia Johanson: Translation Between Art and Landscape," a talk by Xin Wu, professor of Art, American University.

The work of contemporary artist-designer Patricia Johanson provides a unique case for addressing the practice of translation between visual and landscape arts. Since the 1960s, when Johanson was an avant-garde painter, her career has intertwined with major movements in American art while also being marked by decisive boundary-crossing among the visual arts, the natural sciences, and landscape design. This presentation will offer an overview of Johanson's experimental path and the maturing process that led to her translation from visual into landscape arts.
