Art Together is the Zimmerli's FREE drop-in family art
workshop series. Each month, join us for a new project inspired by a
work on view in the museum and spend some quality creative time
together. Get all the details here!
Colors, Codes, & Visual Poetry, this
month's project, is inspired by Florian Yuriev, a Ukrainian
artist, architect, composer and critic. In the late 1950s, he
developed a mode of expression he called colorwriting, examples of
which can be seen in our exhibition Painting in Excess: Kyiv's Art Revival,
1985-1993.
Whether you consider yourself a poet, an
artist, or someone curious about secret messages, families are
invited to code text of their choosing through color, form, and
paint.
Please Note: Capacity
is limited due to COVID-19 protocols. Groups may be asked to wait if
the room is at capacity. Masks must be worn at all times.

2022 WOODRUFF-MATSUO PROGRAM
JENNIFER MACK-WATKINS: MOKUHANGA & ME
IN PERSON
|
|
Thursday, March 24 / 4 to 7 pm
|
|
|
The Zimmerli welcomes artist Jennifer Mack-Watkins, whose work powerfully blends Japanese woodblock
printing techniques, known as mokuhanga, and her culturally rich southern roots. Her
work investigates societal constructs that can leave women feeling
isolated and definitions of femininity based on widely held notions
of beauty and cultural norms.
4pm: Artist Talk
5pm: Reception and Morse Print Room Open for
Viewing
6pm: Mokuhanga Demonstration
In the summer of 2015, Mack-Watkins was
selected to participate in the Mokuhanga Innovation Laboratory artist-in-residence program
in Yamanashi, Japan.
Three prints by Mack-Watkins were acquired by the
Zimmerli in 2021 and are on view in the museum lobby beginning March 23.
Free and open to the public. Register on Eventbrite.
This program is made possible by the Woodruff-Matsuo
Lecture Series Fund.
Please Note: All attendees are required to show proof
of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 PCR test, accompanied by
photo ID or Rutgers My Campus Pass. Please review the complete
details on our Health &
Safety page.
