Typewriters that argue with each other, mobile phonographs, and a device that tunes its own sounds are among Christy Georg’s artwork she will discuss at the October 7, 2008 gathering of Dorkbot Boston at the Charles River Museum of Industry in Waltham, MA. The talk is free and open to the public.

Christy Georg is an artist specializing in kinetic sculpture. Christy Georg has been called “a sculptor of wit and ingenuity, clearly in the tradition of Jean Tinguely and Bruce Nauman, but brilliantly original in her use of existential humor to invigorate the works” by sculptor Rob Fisher. Born in Chicago and raised in Houston, she received her MFA from Massachusetts College of Art, her BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute, and studied glassblowing at the Pacific Northwest College of Art. She has exhibited widely, having solo exhibitions at the Contemporary Artists Center in North Adams, the Roswell Museum, Gettysburg College, and University of Massachusetts at Lowell. She has been awarded residencies at SculptureSpace, Ross Creek Art Center in Nova Scotia, Fine Arts Work Center, Vermont Studio Center, Boston’s Berwick Research Institute, Roswell AIR program, and the MacDowell Colony.
