New York-based artist Fabienne Lasserre is known for transforming industrial materials such as vinyl, plastic, steel and foam into abstract, brightly colored works that are halfway between painting and sculpture. Her latest exhibition, “Listeners,” which is supported by a $60,000 grant to The Athenaeum from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, features pieces hung from the ceiling that blur the line between motion and stillness. As the audience orbits them, their interaction brings slight movements and fleeting reflections of light to otherwise inert objects. Lasserre will discuss her process and the creation of “Listeners” at Lamar Dodd School of Art in Auditorium S150 the preceding day, Jan. 25, at 5:30 p.m.
