Скачать или смотреть Marci Kwon: Folk Surrealism: Joseph Cornell at the Museum of Modern Art

Presented in partnership with Washington University in St. Louis, this free, one-day symposium used CAM’s exhibitions on the work of Joe Goode and Jesse Howard as a point of departure. Joe Goode and Jesse Howard: Thy Kingdom Come offer unique views of the Midwest, providing a framework for scholars to present research on topics such as the lived Midwestern experience, materiality and the monochrome, and self-taught American aesthetics. Moderated by CAM’s Chief Curator Jeffrey Uslip and Ila Sheren, Assistant Professor of Art History and Archaeology at Washington University in St. Louis.
