3 Works: Multiplicity with Magdolene Dykstra
June 18, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
With the Gardiner temporarily closed, we’re excited to present a new live series hosted by Chief Curator Sequoia Miller in which an artist will share three of their artworks and speak about them in connection to a larger theme.
Our first presenter is ceramic artist Magdolene Dykstra, whose work Polyanthroponemia is one of four installations in the exhibition RAW, which will resume when the Museum reopens.
