Seminar

Harvard Art Museums
32 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA

This event is at capacity.

In this session, artist Fernando Bryce will discuss his practice with Mary Schneider Enriquez, the Houghton Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. Their discussion will begin in the University Research Gallery, where Bryce’s multipart work The Book of Needs (2015) is on view. Through 81 ink-on-paper drawings, Bryce re-creates historical articles and texts to illuminate the ideological underpinnings of each page, in effect showing rather than explaining history. The conversation will continue in the Art Study Center, focusing on objects in the museums’ collections that relate to the ideas Bryce explores in his work. The exhibition will be on view from January 20 to May 6, 2018.

The seminar will take place in the Art Study Center, Level 4.

Free admission, but capacity is limited to 15 and registration is recommended. To register, please email am_visitorservices@harvard.edu.
