Art & Art History Lecture Series welcomes Sally Scopa.

Wednesday
Oct 22
12-1pm
Weber Fine Arts 214

Sally Scopa is a visual artist based in Bellingham, Washington. She has been awarded residencies at the Skowhegan School of Painting in Sculpture in Madison, ME and MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA as well as internationally at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris and SOMA in Mexico City.

Scopa holds a BA in Visual and Environmental Studies from Harvard University and an MFA in Art Practice from Stanford University.

Her work has been featured in publications such as Artforum, Variable West, New American Paintings, and KQED. She has had recent solo shows in California with an exhibition currently on view at Oolong Gallery’s exhibition space in New York City titled “Ready for the Ceremony.”For this exhibition, Scopa painted miniaturist abstractions over vintage stereocards, a 19-century novelty that creates a 3-dimensional effect for the viewer when placing the doubled images in a handheld device.

The cards used in the exhibition come from a set depicting a Victorian-era couple’s journey from courtship to marriage. The original images are erased in the act of painting while the text describing each scene is preserved. Scopa work takes on a playful attitude towards histories of visual culture, the imperfect qualities of binocular vision, and the associations conjured through text and image.

In addition to her art practice and adjunct teaching at Western Washington University, Scopa ran the project space Queen Northwest from 2023–2026 to support artists in the Pacific Northwest.
