Triennial Artist Talk: Siobahn McBride and Lea Simoniello
Saturday, March 14, 2026, 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
Free with museum admission.
Join Here You Are artists Siobhan McBride and Lea Simoniello in the auditorium and gallery to learn more about their artwork and creative practice. McBride’s paintings are descriptions of strange and quotidian experiences, passages from books, film fragments, things caught in the corner of the eye and an attempt to conjure slippery memories. Simoniello’s work is a deeply personal
excavation of body, gender, and psychological landscape. Through oil painting, graphite, and textile sculpture, Simoniello explores themes of femininity, masculinity, abuse, athleticism, and vulnerability.
“these are the only weights you shouldn’t be lifting anymore” Lea Simoniello, Oil paint on stretched canvas, 2024
