Join us this week on Thursday for the final DCA Art Lecture “America is Hard to See: 1970 – Present”. Elisabeth Sherman, Assistant Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, will discuss the Whitney’s institutional mission to dedicate itself to living, working American artists — the new building expanding all possibilities for examination and exploration. Looking at the period from 1970 to the present, the lecture will highlight artists’ engagement with the development of new media and found imagery, with a particular focus on political work from the 1980s and 90s. In addition, the presentation will consider some of the most recent work included in the exhibition, through a discussion of contemporary artists such as Carol Bove, Robert Gober, Josh Kline, and Wade Guyton.
