Alexander Alberro workshop

The Mildred Lame Kemper Art Museum is pleased to welcome Alexander Alberro to campus on April 1 and 2, 2020. Alberro is the Virginia Bloedel Wright Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art History at Barnard College and author of Abstraction in Reverse: The Reconfigured Spectator in Mid-Twentieth Century Latin American Art (University of Chicago Press, 2017), which examines the ways in which artists such as Jesús Soto and Julio Le Parc, among others, attempted to reimagine the relationship of art to its public through active participation. 

On Wednesday, April 2, from 9:30-11:00am in Kemper 104, he will facilitate a workshop for graduate students and interested faculty to address this topic in more depth. A reading of his choosing will be circulated in advance of the workshop.  

Prof. Alberro’s Barnard/Columbia website offers a detailed overview of his activities http://www.columbia.edu/cu/arthistory/faculty/Alberro.html

Those interested in participating can RSVP to Meredith Lehman, Head of Museum Education at lehman.meredith@wustl.edu
