The Arts Club of Chicago

Two authors explore questions about pleasure, identity, and viewership in art.

The publications Open Questions and Each One Another attack two core questions: how does one find “oneself” in art? And what do museums, universities, and art history have in common, as tools and obstacles in that search? Open Questions brings curator Helen Molesworth’s groundbreaking “How to Install Art as a Feminist” to her own self-discovery as a queer woman in an art history lecture hall; art historian Rachel Haidu’s Each One Another discusses how selfhood is felt or perceived as shapes, characters, and roles in art. In conversation together these two authors will unfold some of the ways that art surpasses academic doxa to present new questions about pleasure, identity, and the one looking.Free and Open to the Public
