Public Critique with Kenzie Sitterud
Giving critiques and getting critiques is part of the process that brings the community of artists together. So, whether you bring your art or view someone else’s, join the discussion and learn from each other during this free public event. The monthly informal critiques welcome moderators from the Denver art community alongside Art Gym staff while guests enjoy the provided snacks and drinks. Critique sessions are limited to ten people showing work, so sign up today and join us on Wednesday, September 10, from 6-9PM with guest moderator, artist Kenzie Sitterud.
Kenzie Sitterud is a multimedia artist specializing in large-scale installations, commercial art, and public art environments. With a commitment to addressing social issues and injustices, Sitterud’s installations are crafted to carry a touch of irony and humor, alleviating the weight of the messages conveyed in the overarching artist statement.
By tapping into the human experience from a non-majority perspective, Kenzie’s artistic intent is to produce works that foster empathy and provide visual insights into social and historical injustices. In earlier works, Sitterud aimed to recreate the dysphoric environment experienced by the queer community within a societal framework not designed for their inclusion.
Kenzie’s work has been featured at the Denver Art Museum, Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, Meow Wolf Denver, Breck Create, Platteforum, and various galleries around the art districts of Denver. Sitterud was an Artist-in-Residence at RedLine Contemporary Art Center from 2017-2019. While at Redline, they were a Colorado Creative Industries and NEAA recipient for the 2017 Career Advancement Grant. Sitterud received a 2019 P.S. You are Here Grant through Denver Arts & Venues to complete a commissioned public project for Design Workshop Foundation.
