Joan Jonas: Moving Off the Land II (Excerpts)

Gavin Browning, Director of Public Programs and Engagement at Columbia University School of the Arts, will guide our exploration of the installation by Joan Jonas in the Lenfest Center lobby.

Part of the School of the Arts 60th anniversary celebration, eleven untitled drawings of red fish—each digitally scanned, scaled up, printed, and installed in the lobby of the Lenfest Center for the Arts—are excerpted from Jonas’ titular installation, a multimedia exploration of the science and stories of the world’s oceans. [Read more about the exhibition]

Lotty Rosenfeld: Disobedient Spaces

Led by a Wallach Art Gallery Educator, we will explore several key works in this solo retrospective of Lotty Rosenfeld, one of the most important feminist artists of the 20th century, and one of the best-known within Latin America.

Chilean artist Lotty Rosenfeld (1943–2020) is renowned for her extensive practice with printmaking, video, and site-specific installation. Through these media, Rosenfeld crafted political gestures that contested the militarization of everyday life and revealed the invisible code at the heart of the world’s market-based economies. Lotty Rosenfeld: Disobedient Spaces is the first solo retrospective of Rosenfeld’s practice in the U.S. The Wallach Gallery visit will include an educator-led exhibition introduction, followed by independent viewing time.
