Allan McCollum: Nov 11

Allan McCollum
Wednesday, November 11, 6:30 pm
NYU Institute of Fine Arts
1 East 78th Street
A reception for Mr. McCollum will follow.

Since rising to prominence in the late 1970s and early 1980s with his "Surrogate Paintings" and "Plaster Surrogates," Allan McCollum has continued to explore the ways in which objects acquire meaning in the world. His installations over the last three decades engage issues of originality, authorship, and exchange value, reflecting on the very systems and institutions of collection and display on which they rely. At the same time, McCollum’s manipulation and blurring of such binaries as handicraft and mechanical production, original and facsimile, and uniqueness and repetition, carry broader resonances that extend well beyond the realm of art.

Space is Limited. RSVP via email: ifa.events@nyu.edu. Please include “McCollum” in the subject line. http://www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/fineart/events/index.htm
