A Close Look: Ken Fandell’s The Sky Above My Home

Details:

Join Corinne Granof, Academic Curator, in The Living Room for a discussion of the current work on view, a monumental digital collage, Ken Fandell’s The Sky Above My Home (10/7/2002–6/14/2003, Chicago, Illinois) (2003).  She will discuss how Fandell’s artwork offers a reflection on our relationship with nature, and engages with art of the past. Coffee and tea will be offered beginning at 3:00 pm.

The Living Room is a drop-in space at The Block Museum that invites students and other visitors to gather, reflect, and connect with one artwork in the museum’s collection, rotating each month. Stop by for a warm drink and a conversation — every Wednesday from 3–5 PM, the coffee and tea is on us.

Participation level – medium, participants are encouraged to share thoughts and questions during the program.

Programs are open to all, on a first-come first-served basis. RSVPs are appreciated, but not required.
