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 discuss the inspiration and process behind Theatre of the Absurd, her haunting new series exploring the illusion of normalcy under authoritarian rule.

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

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