Rebecca Morris: Distinguished Alumni Lecture Series
@ The Art Institute of Chicago
Fullerton Hall, 111 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60603
Opening Tuesday, October 3rd, from 6PM - 7:30PM
Join us in person for a lecture by artist Rebecca Morris followed by an audience Q&A.
Rebecca Morris (Post-Bacc 1992, MFA 1994) has dedicated her 30-year career to the exploration of abstraction. Her work has taken basic elements like stroke, surface, and frame to question the underlying pretenses of abstract painting, exposing the tensions between the flat surface of the work and the painting as a discrete object. Recurring motifs such as fragmented patterns and distorted grids further complicate her work against the larger history of conceptual artists that have used precise geometry to delineate visual space.
Presented in partnership with SAIC Alumni Engagement.
