Part of the Meeting at a Distance series
Join Terry R. Myers, independent curator, writer, and editor-at-large of the Brooklyn Rail, in conversation with Kay Rosen, a contemporary artist whose paintings investigate the myriad visual possibilities of language and text, generating new meaning from everyday words through shifting visual contexts. Rosen and Myers discuss the working relationship between curator and artist, and dive into Rosen’s studio practice and projects. After the talk, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and comment on the discussion.
