John Felix Arnold III
In Conversation

In Conversation continues with NYC-based artist John Felix Arnold III, the last resident artist in the Rubenstein Arts Center painting studio before the pandemic. Wanting to bring art to the entrance area by WXDU, Bill Fick, the Ruby's assistant director for visual and studio arts, asked Arnold to create an installation involving Duke drawing students in the process. For Arnold, who was born and raised in Durham, the project became a meditation on his hometown intensified by his mother's health crisis-until the work was cut short by everybody's health crisis. Join Arnold to learn about this work-in-progress, growing up in Durham, his career pathway, and his upcoming exhibition at Anchorlight in Raleigh (Mar 2021).
