In this in-gallery conversation, composer and musician George Lewis explores the assemblage approach to art making in the work of artist Joseph Cornell.
Artists Connect is a new series of in-gallery programs that highlight the creative process. Artists, poets, dancers, and musicians engage with works of art, making connections to their own practice and inspiring new ways of understanding the Art Institute’s collection.
