Museum Lecture: ‘Curating Outside of Outsider Art’
|
Fall 2015 Bob and Pam Goergen Lectures: Topics in Contemporary Sculpture – Judith Scott – Curating Outside of Outsider ArtWednesday, Oct. 14 – 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. (Lecture at 7:30)
Catherine Morris, Sackler Family Curator of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum, will address the work of Judith Scott, who for the past two decades has astounded audiences with her sculptures of found objects, fastidiously enveloped in yarn, thread, fabric, and other fibers. Scott began her career in 1987 at the Creative Growth Art Center-a visionary studio art program in Oakland, California, that serves artists with developmental and physical disabilities. Ms. Morris will address the questions Scott’s work raises in curatorial decision-making in relationship to biography, abstraction, and otherness in contemporary sculpture. Lecture begins at 7:30 pm, with open galleries and refreshments from 6:30 p.m.
Members $5, $10 for non-members.
