Join us on Thursday, August 14, 5:00 to 7:00 PM ET, for an Artist talk with Fran Forman beginning at 6:00 PM

Fran Forman will share the inspiration and process behind Theatre of the Absurd, her haunting new series that examines the illusion of normalcy under authoritarian rule.

Blending original source material, photography, AI, and a personalized dataset, Fran layers symbolic elements—mimes, clowns, ominous skies, and musicians playing to no one—into richly textured visual narratives. “This is not mere historical reflection,” she says, “but a visual warning.”

We invite you to join us for what promises to be a thought-provoking conversation about the state of the world—and the evolving role of AI in art.

We look forward to seeing you, but for those who can’t make it to the gallery, Theatre of the Absurd is available to view online at the Workspace Gallery web page.
