The Evolving Artwork: March 20

Thursday, March 20, 6:30pm
MoMA, Celeste Bartos Theater, Education and Research Building

An artwork often has a life that extends beyond the original intentions of its maker, as its materials enter into a process of slight transformations and interpretive perceptions change. This discussion, which includes experts in the conservation, curatorial, and education fields, analyzes artworks' evolutions throughout history. Participants include Jim Coddington, Chief Conservator, Department of Conservation, Susan Kismaric, Curator, Department of Photography, The Museum of Modern Art, and Edward Powers, Lecturer, The Museum of Modern Art, and Adjunct Assistant Professor, Pratt Institute. This program is moderated by Leonard Lopate, host of The Leonard Lopate Show on WNYC.

Tickets ($10; members $8; students, seniors, and staff of other museums $5) can be purchased at the lobby information desk, the film desk.
