Please RSVP to skhosla@dcmooregallery.com
Please join Robert Kushner and Aliza Edelman for a lively discussion about the history of ornamentation and decoration. By revisiting the position of “Pattern & Decoration” as both a condition of modernism and as a vital contemporary art practice, they will address the intersection of fashion, dance, and performance as developed in Kushner’s early pieces from the 1970s, and the radicality of his new artworks’ engagement with surface materiality and narratives of textiles and cloth.
Q&A and reception to follow the talk.
Robert Kushner: Reverie: Duppata-topia on view at DC Moore Gallery through June 16
