Please join us for a panel discussion about the special exhibition Screen Play: Life in an Animated World.

This lecture by legendary performance artist and public art pioneer Mierle Laderman Ukeles is presented as part of the special exhibition Overtime: The Art of Work.

Critic and art historian Barbara Rose and Albright-Knox Chief Curator Emeritus Douglas Dreishpoon will engage artist Tony DeLap in a conversation around his long and distinguished career.

In this lecture, curator and art historian Henry Skerritt will describe the rise of contemporary Aboriginal art, from the emergence of the modern bark painting movement in 1911, through the emergence of Western Desert acrylic painting in the 1970s, culminating in the flourishing and diverse practices of the present.

In his talk, Dr. Dreishpoon will explore the relationship between these two artists and discuss the curatorial process for the special exhibitions Imperfections By Chance: Paul Feeley Retrospective, 1954–1966 and Giving Up One’s Mark: Helen Frankenthaler in the 1960s and 1970s.

This conversation, presented on the occasion of the opening of the special exhibition Giving Up One’s Mark: Helen Frankenthaler in the 1960s and 1970s, will focus on the artist’s career during the decades represented in the exhibition.
