Wed, Mar 8, 2017
6:30 PM–8:30 PM
Museum of Modern Art, Bartos Theater
Please join us for a lecture by Katy Siegel, Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Endowed Chair at Stony Brook University, on the collective process of curating Postwar (with Okwui Enwezor and Ulrich Wilmes), an exhibition that casts the geopolitical reorganizing most commonly called World War II as a truly worldwide event, encompassing artists working in a devastated, divided Europe, the increasingly modernizing and powerful Americas, and the liberation struggles and new nations of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
Respondent: Romy Golan (Professor, Art History, The Graduate Center, CUNY)

Co-presented with Contemporary and Modern Art Perspectives (C-MAP) at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the keynote lecture is part of postPresents, a series of talks devoted to the cross-geographical consideration of modern and contemporary art. The sessions are an extension of C-MAP’s website post (post.at.moma.org), MoMA’s online platform devoted to art from a global perspective.
