Creating Apart: Joe Klander
Joe Klander is one of the artists featured in the Tweed Museum of Art’s upcoming exhibition, “Creating Apart: Local Artists Respond to a Global Pandemic.” Joe is an artist and ophthalmology tech at St. Luke’s Hospital. In this video, he talks about how the pandemic gave him time to work on one of his dream projects.
This is the fifth in a series of nine short videos, each featuring a local artist who found themselves creating apart. These shorts are just a small part of a larger project called “Stories of Wisdom from Bodies in Separation: Archiving the Coronavirus Pandemic Through the Lens of Humanities” which was organized by UMD professors David Beard and Devaleena Das. They received a CARES grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to fund this project.
Ten local oral historians are currently conducting interviews for this project which will be archived at the Northeast Minnesota Historical Center. Likes: 0 Viewed: source
