Join essayist A. Kendra Greene for an interactive discussion about writing, museums and the challenges of collecting, followed by a tour of the Nasher Sculpture Center Conservation Lab by Nasher Lab Technician Nicole Berastequi.
A. Kendra Greene’s Anatomy of a Museum or Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About the Icelandic Phallological Museum, But Were Afraid to Ask has been called “the gold standard by which all future essays about Icelandic penis museums will be measured.” Her essays explore the human need to keep what can be kept, and the many ways in which museum objects fade, break, shatter and explode.
The Gallery Lab series brings the spirit of experimentation to the Nasher galleries. Join us for informal conversations, interactive presentations, performances, demonstrations and unexpected viewpoints on art with artists and voices from other disciplines. Expand your concept of a gallery talk and discover a fresh perspective on what it means to engage with the arts. Expect to be surprised!
Free with admission. RSVP required.
