Internationally renowned visual artist Katrín Sigurdardóttir, MFA, has been named the next Charles C. Bergman Endowed Visiting Professorship in Studio Art in the College of Arts and Sciences Department of Art.

In her work, Sigurdardóttir explores the ways in which physical structures and boundaries define our perception. Through unexpected shifts in scale, she examines distance and memory and their embodiments in architecture, cartography, archaeology and traditional landscape representations. While alluding to real locations, Sigurdardóttir’s works question the verity of these places, as well as our account of them.

Made possible by a gift from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, the Charles C. Bergman Endowed Visiting Professorship in Studio Art, established in 2018 in memory of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation’s longtime and legendary chairman and CEO, brings accomplished artists to the College of Arts and Sciences Department of Art to share their visions and inspiration with the next generation of young artists. The Foundation and Stony Brook University’s creation of this position celebrates Bergman’s commitment to the university and his lifelong devotion to the visual arts and artists and celebrates the legacies of Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock.
