Artist Erika Blumenfeld and gallery director Kerry Inman in conversation on April 8, 1:00pm. The two discuss Blumenfeld’s latest print project, Tracing Luminaries, and Blumenfeld presents on the history of the Women Computers who inspired the prints, the printmaking process itself, questions of conservation and historical preservation at large, the rich scientific discoveries behind the glass plates, and more.

Blumenfeld talks with Radio France’s Affaires Culturelles host, Arnaud Laport, about her art practice, focusing on her longtime interest in light and the cosmos, and her experience at the McDonald Observatory. Affaires Culturelles is a France Culture radio show that is “committed to culture and creation by getting closer to artists, showing how culture is IN society, that it is its reflection, vibration, and sometimes even premonition.”

Blumenfeld discusses all things art, science, and space rocks on “Houston, We Have A Podcast,” the official podcast of NASA Johnson Space Center, with host, Pat Ryan, and colleague, Jeremy Kent, geologist and Apollo sample curation processor.
