The Aspen Art Museum hosted an artist talk, Action Figures, by ARIA DEAN, held on the occasion of the exhibition John Chamberlain: THE TIGHTER THEY’RE WOUND, THE HARDER THEY UNRAVEL.

​Dean has emerged as a critical voice of her generation, investigating narratives around identity, objecthood, and power in her multifaceted practice. The artist is known for subjecting sculptural materials to simulated force through digital modeling software, and, in this presentation, Dean will examine her body of “collision” works against the backdrop of John Chamberlain’s physical manipulations of metal and foam.
