Curator Talk

Rachel Federman 

Thursday, January 23, 5:30 p.m.
Louis A. Simpson A71

Join us for a lecture by Rachel Federman, curator of Helène Aylon: Undercurrent. The objects in this Art@Bainbridge exhibition form the backdrop for a probing and wide-ranging discussion of Aylon’s artistic production, which the late artist described as if it were a play in three acts: Body, Earth, God. Federman will unpack these categories and illuminate the undercurrent that runs beneath Aylon’s inspiring and underrecognized fifty-year practice. Introduced by Juliana Ochs Dweck, chief curator. Reception to follow.

Final Month 

Helène Aylon: Undercurrent

Through February 2 
Art@Bainbridge 

 

Through painting, performance, film, and more, Helène Aylon’s artistic practice emphasized discovery rather than completion. The works in this exhibition, drawn from the artist’s fifty-year career, demonstrate her belief that openness to the contingencies of the body, the earth, and spirituality could facilitate understanding, even healing. Guest curated by Rachel Federman.
