Presented by Tom Williams
Wednesday, March 1
Focus on Jeffrey Gibson
This class will focus on multiplicity and identity in contemporary art. Beginning with Gibson’s blending of different aesthetic traditions as a vision of a pluralist future, this class will discuss contemporary artists who have forged new sensibilities and imagined alternative worlds by working between and across different cultures and social practices.
At the end of the course, participants can visit the galleries with Tom Williams during an in-person meetup.
