Bent Networks, Distorted Worlds: In Conversation with Artist Evan Roth

Tuesday, January 21, 4:00 p.m. CET (Paris time)

Admitted students are invited to join our online artist talk entitled “Bent Networks, Distorted Worlds: In Conversation with Artist Evan Roth.” Evan is a graduate of the MFA Design and Technology program at Parsons School of Design in New York City, and currently co-teaches Senior Thesis Studio at Parsons Paris.  

Evan will give a 45-minute overview of his work and career, which will be followed by a discussion. The talk will be held live at our Parsons Paris campus, but we invite admitted students to join us online. Everyone will have an opportunity to ask Evan questions during the discussion.

For the past 19 years, Evan has been creating paintings, installations, videos, and websites in arts institutions, in public spaces, and on the Internet. Based in Berlin, Evan explores the misuse of tools and materials to challenge our perceptions of typically unseen aspects of the systems that surround us.

Evan’s work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art and has been exhibited at C/O Berlin, Whitechapel Gallery, Jeu de Paume, the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. He was the co-founder of the Graffiti Research Lab and the Free Art & Technology Lab (F.A.T. Lab) and was awarded ArtAngel’s Everywhere commission.

The talk will not include any formal presentation of admitted student information.

Register to join Evan Roth's online artist talk!
