Join art writer and curator Laura McLean-Ferris for a special Outside the Box gallery talk on “Pipilotti Rist: Pixel Forest.”
Outside the Box offers a roster of gallery-based talks given by a variety of guest speakers over the course of a season. In this series, lecturers with diverse backgrounds and affinities will address the New Museum’s fall exhibition, “Pipilotti Rist: Pixel Forest,” in forty-five- to sixty-minute presentations taking place in the Museum’s galleries. As a way to emphasize the Museum’s strong commitment to new art and new ideas, Outside the Box gallery talks are open to the public and are intended to provide participants with multidisciplinary perspectives on New Museum exhibitions. To this end, lecturers will speak about the exhibition or themes emergent in Rist’s works from the various positions they occupy—be they academic, personal, political, or otherwise. With their distinct individual relationships to the artist and works on view, lecturers will engage in rich investigations that illuminate and probe the Museum’s current exhibition program.
Additional Outside the Box talks for the fall season include:
Thursday November 17, 3:30 PM: Harrison Atelier
Thursday December 1, 3:30 PM: K.J. Holmes
Thursday December 8, 3:30 PM: Rachel Rose
All Outside the Box talks are free with Museum admission.
