Caroline Kent | Lea K. Green Artist Talk | Studio Museum in Harlem
For the eighth annual Lea K. Green Artist Talk, the Studio Museum in Harlem is proud to honor Caroline Kent, who will be in conversation with friend and artist Amanda Williams at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.
A 2021 Joyce Alexander Wein Artist Prize awardee, Chicago-based artist Caroline Kent explores the relationship between language and abstraction through paintings, drawings, sculpture, and performance, unveiling how such work can function as acts of translation.
In this conversation, Kent and Williams will explore the artist’s creative practice and philosophy, as well as considerations of gesture- and mark-making within the tradition of abstraction.
Please join us on March 20, 2024 at 6:00pm for a pre-program reception. The program will begin at 7pm. This program is free to attend. ASL Interpretation and closed captions will be available.
