For Scott Betz, the process of placing oneself in unfamiliar territory and repeatedly asking and answering the same question, “How can I best operate in this system?” is a strategy that he uses in his studio production. During his Artalk, Betz discusses the suite of collaborative video/print works he has recently created that examine his geographic experiences while painting views in 48 states and Canada, living in France for a year and traveling to Morocco. He is currently a professor of art at Winston-Salem State University. The Artalk is in conjunction with the exhibit “Familiar Territory” in The 1912 Gallery from April 4-28, 2012 (except April 6-9.) This event will take place on Tuesday, April 03, at 7:30pm.
