Insider Moment at the DAM with Hamilton Artist Brian Knep



Watch an artist at work in the museum and hear the back story at this Insider Moment. Join master teacher Heather Nielsen for a special look at new media artist Brian Knep and his interactive installation for the museum, Exempla.

For his artwork Exempla, Boston-based artist Knep was inspired by a three-year-old’s drawings that he saved from a friend’s recycling bin. This moment will take place mid-installation and you’ll have the opportunity to see how the cartoonish creatures in the artwork multiply and cover the gallery walls reacting to the changes we impose on their world. Hear how his vision came to life using new technology and see how you, the visitor, can interact and change the artwork.

Free with general admission. No reservations needed. Please meet on level two of the Hamilton Building in the Precourt Family Discovery Hall, near the elevators.
