Fleisher From a Distance: Wind Challenge Edition with Michael Konrad

While Fleisher’s exhibitions are on pause, join us online on Mondays for compelling conversations with past and present Wind Challenge artists. Established in 1978, the Wind Challenge Exhibition Series has enriched the lives of countless visitors and introduced audiences to contemporary art created by the region’s emerging artists. The Wind Challenge Exhibition Series is made possible thanks to generous support from the Dina Wind Art Foundation and Fleisher members.

Michael Konrad, a 2010 Wind Challenge artist, is a Philadelphia-based artist, drawing inspiration from the built environment and society’s impact on nature. He uses everyday building materials such as bricks and lumber, along with discarded items such as plastic bags refashioned into fabric, to create his sculptures, in an effort to understand how perception determines the meaning and function of materials.
