Virtual Classes Offered This Fall

2023 Fall Virtual Classes:

September 27th & 28th

Wangechi Mutu, Intertwined

Wangechi Mutu's (b. 1972) 25-year career encompasses painting, collage, drawing, sculpture, and film. Mutu first gained acclaim for her collage-based practice exploring camouflage, transformation, and mutation. She extends these strategies to her work across various media, developing hybrid, fantastical forms that fuse mythical and folkloric narratives with layered sociohistorical references. Mutu’s work grapples with contemporary realities while proffering new models for a radically changed future informed by feminism, Afrofuturism, and interspecies symbiosis.

October 25th & 26th

Alex Katz, Gathering

Alex Katz’s recent exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum occupied the central rotunda, providing an almost cinematic viewing of his paintings. As he states, each one is a record of “quick things passing,” freezing in time the flux of everyday life in a vivid burst of optical perception—like a single cell from an animated movie.

November 29th & 30th

Meret Oppenheim, My Exhibition.

Best known for her celebrated fur-lined teacup, the full scope of Oppenheim’s six-decade career has been largely unknown outside her native Switzerland, and many of the paintings, sculptures, assemblages, reliefs, jewelry designs, works on paper, and collages were on display at MoMA in the US for the first time this year. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see Oppenheim’s output—from daring objects first displayed alongside those of the Surrealists in the 1930s, to painted collages that incorporate natural materials found in the Alpine landscape, to sculptures made of bronze and semi-precious stone—in all of its exuberant variety.

December 13th & 14th
