A.I.R. Gallery

On the occasion of Joan Snitzer’s Carefully Constructed at A.I.R. Gallery, the artist will be joined in conversation with the show’s curator, Landon Wilson, to speak with Snitzer about her studio practice and process of creating modular paintings. Bookending the talk will be two activations of her large-scale work Graphic Phonemes (2025-2026), featuring seven of her students from Barnard College.

Joan Snitzer is an artist and educator whose work explores the intersection of visual perception and the physical act of painting. A long-standing member of A.I.R. Gallery, she has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally. She currently serves as the Co-Chair of the Department of Art History at Barnard College, Columbia University, where she also directs the Visual Arts Program. Her practice remains dedicated to investigating how visual systems can remain open to change and collaborative intervention.
