About this event

1 hour 30 minutes

Inspired by CIMA's current exhibition Nanni Balestrini: Art as Political Action—One Thousand and One Voices, Jennifer Farrell, curator of modern and contemporary prints and drawings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will explore some of the ways artists have engaged collage, letterforms, and language, broadly considered, and in the process, challenged artistic conventions, as well as cultural, social, and political structures. The talk will examine the various histories of this engagement with linguistic codes from early 20th century European avant-garde movements to the work of more contemporary artists.
