“Meet the Artist” with Charlie Engman

On Thursday, April 9, we welcome Charlie Engman to “Meet the Artist” night at CPW. In this presentation, Engman will trace several threads of his practice, moving between a long-term collaborative project with his mother, a hybrid text-and-image cultural critique of Hello Kitty, and recent experiments with generative AI. Bringing these works into conversation, he will reflect on how images produce meaning, intimacy, and belief, and consider the risks and creative possibilities of working with AI as an unstable and contested medium. Engman will have copies of his books for sale throughout the evening. This event will be live-streamed on CPW’s YouTube page at 6pm.
