| Free and Open to the Public Join the Gund Gallery as we screen the 6th season of PBS’s award winning contemporary art series: Tuesday, April 17th-- Episode 2, Boundaries features the work of artists David Altmejd, collective assume vivid astro focus, Lynda Benglis and Tabaimo. This episode presents artists who synthesize disparate aesthetic traditions, present taboo subject matter, discover innovative uses of media, and explore the shape-shifting potential of the human figure. Tuesday, April 24th-- Episode 3: History features the work of artists Marina Abramović, Mary Reid Kelley and Glenn Ligon. In this episode, artists play with historical events, explore and expose commonly held assumptions about historic ‘truth’, and create narratives based on personal experiences. Tuesday, May 1st-- Episode 4: Balance, features the work of artists Rackstraw Downes, Robert Mangold and Sarah Sze. Through sculpture, paintings, and installations, the artists in this hour grapple with equilibrium and disequilibrium as they create highly structured works that challenge conventional notions of perception and representation. This event is part of Art21 Access ’12, a celebration of contemporary art and Art in the Twenty-First Century, Season Six, sponsored by Art21. Visit art21.org for more information. Free and open to the public, discussion to follow. |
