[MCN-L] El Anatsui | FREE & Interactive Tour

2021-06-02 Thread Matthew Whitman
Hi everyone,


I hope that you are well. On behalf of the team, I would like to invite you
to join us this evening (7PM ET / 4PM PT) for Considering Topography,
featuring the work of El Anatsui.


Following our two week break (we missed you) - join us tonight, as together
we explore the work of El Anatsui, a sculptor from Ghana who currently
lives and works in Nigeria.

As both a sculptor and teacher, Anatsui’s career has spanned more than
forty years. Known for his repurposing of alcohol bottle caps into
large-scale hanging installations, Anatsui’s art weaves together the
discarded materials of production, trade, and consumption made prevalent in
Africa during the colonial expansion of Europe and the Americas.

His sculptures have been collected by major international museums. This
includes the British Museum (London), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the de
Young Museum (San Francisco), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York),
Guggenheim (Abu Dhabi), Osaka Foundation of Culture (Osaka), the Tate
Modern (London), and the Museum of Modern Art (New York).

mark and I are looking forward to seeing you later.

All my best,

Matt

[MCN-L] Bill Traylor | FREE & Interactive Tour

2021-05-12 Thread Matthew Whitman
Hi everyone,

I hope that you are well. On behalf of the team, I would like to invite you
to join us this evening (7PM ET / 4PM PT) for Considering Worlds, featuring
the work of Bill Traylor.

Bill Traylor is regarded today as one of the most influential American
artists of the twentieth century. A Black man born into slavery in Alabama,
he was an eyewitness to history: the Civil War, Emancipation,
Reconstruction, Jim Crow segregation, and the Great Migration.

Traylor would not live to see the civil rights movement, but he was among
those who laid its foundation. Starting around 1939 - by then in his late
eighties and living on the streets of Montgomery - Traylor made the radical
steps of taking up pencil and paintbrush and attesting to his existence and
point of view. The paintings and drawings he made are visually striking and
politically assertive; they include potent distillations of tales and
memories as well as spare, vibrantly colored abstractions. When Traylor
died in 1949, he left behind more than one thousand works of art.

featuring the work of Njideka Akunyili Crosby.

Njideka Akunyili Crosby is a Nigerian-born visual artist working in Los

between her adopted home in America and her native Nigeria, creating
collage and photo transfer-based paintings that expose the challenges of
occupying these two worlds. Join us tonight as together we explore the
power of juxtaposition, and with this, the continued importance of the
interstices formed in between. Look closely - What do you see?

[MCN-L] Lynette Yiadom-Boakye | FREE & Interactive Tour

2021-04-28 Thread Matthew Whitman
Hi everyone,

Join us tonight LIVE at 7PM ET / 4PM PT for Considering Complication |
Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, facilitated jointly by mark, and you.

Lynette Yiadom-Boakye is a British artist and writer acclaimed for her
enigmatic portraits of fictitious people. The figures in Yiadom-Boakye’s
paintings are not real people – she creates them from found images and her
own imagination. Both familiar and mysterious, they invite viewers to
project their own interpretations and raise important questions of identity
and representation. “I learned how to paint from looking at painting, and I
continue to learn from looking at painting. In that sense, history serves
as a resource. But the bigger draw for me is the power that painting can
wield across time.” Lynette Yiadom-Boakye.

In this tour, we embark on a process of unlearning. Together, we explore
the construction of narrative. Through close looking, we ask: what
constitutes site, place, and time? How might we be complicit in the
definition of self? How is identity constructed?

Register HERE for your FREE e-TICKET and join us LIVE every Wednesday at
7PM ET / 4PM PT 
(https://www.eventbrite.com/e/149933604447)

Looking forward to seeing you later.
All my best,
Matt

Considering Openings (Part 2)

How do we locate ourselves in a cinematic world when the image and the
sound seem at odds with each other?

About this Event

Join us tonight at 7PM ET, April 21st, for Considering Openings (Part 2)
with Matt.
In this second of a series in which we consider the opening moments of a
film, we will view and discuss the introductory scenes of two films by
Francis Ford Coppola - Apocalypse Now (1979) and The Conversation (1974).

The openings of these two works are unique in their use of sound to guide
the viewer into the world of the film and indeed, the characters in it. We
will consider the uses of both diegetic and non-diegetic music and
environmental sounds in both of these films. What sonic cues indicate a
particular mood? How do we locate ourselves in a cinematic world when the
image and the sound seem at odds with each other? In what ways does music
change our reading of a scene or an environment within a film?

Register HERE for your FREE e-TICKET and join us LIVE every Wednesday at
7PM ET / 4PM PT  (
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/149927891359)

Looking forward to seeing you later.
All my best,
Matt

[MCN-L] In 2 hours | Delmer Daves, Spike Lee & Alexander Sokurov

2021-04-14 Thread Matthew Whitman
Hello everyone - I hope you are well, Matt here with your weekly invite :)

Tonight (7PM ET / 4PM PT) we explore the work of Delmer Daves, Spike Lee,
and Alexander Sokurov in Considering Art : Considering Point of View.

About this Event

The subjectivity of the camera invites us not just into the events that
unfold within a film, but experiencing those events through the gaze of a
character or entity within the film - or even asking us, as viewers, to
become a ‘character’ within the world of the film.

Together we ask: Narratively, what does a POV shot provide that a more
standard ‘third-person’ shot does not? How does a POV change our
relationship to the events within a film? To our relationship with the
characters? In this tour we will view examples from recent and historical
films that have broadened the use and meaning of point-of-view shots within
the cinematic experience.

Registration is FREE and open to ALL. Please feel free to share within your
networks.

[MCN-L] Tonight | Agnès Varda & Fritz Lang

2021-04-07 Thread Matthew Whitman
Hello everyone - Matt here with your weekly invite + 3 new events just
added.

Tonight (7PM ET / 4PM PT) we explore the work of Agnès Varda & Fritz Lang.

About this Event

In this first of a series, we will view, consider, and unravel the opening
scenes of two films from the 20th century.

A film’s opening scene is an entryway into a world being built before the
viewer’s eyes, through the decisions of a filmmaker. It is the moment that
we, as viewers, begin to temporarily suspend awareness of our surroundings
and our disbelief that the events about to unfold on the screen are
illusory.

What do the earliest moments of a film tell us about what is to follow? How
does an opening scene become a short film within a film? Why are these
first glimpses into the world of a film, along with the very last moments
in the film’s ending, so crucial to our understanding of the film as a
whole?

Registration is FREE and open to ALL. Please feel free to share within your
networks.

[MCN-L] Tonight | Mika Rottenberg

2021-03-31 Thread Matthew Whitman
Hello everyone - Matt here with your weekly invite.

Tonight (7PM ET / 4PM PT) we explore the work of Mika Rottenberg.

Join our community this evening for a sensory delve into the world of
artist Mika Rottenberg. This interactive and exploratory tour led by mark
aims to immerse participants into the highly textured, sensually active,
and brightly colored world of plastic, capitalism, politics, and desire.

Navigating a diverse portfolio of work and mediums, we aim to explore the
consequences of our continual thirst for the 'new,' the 'cheap,' and the
'luxurious. We ask: How is luxury established? Who ultimately pays the
price for our access to global 'free' markets and systems? When/where/can
this ever end?

Registration is FREE and open to ALL. Please feel free to share within your
networks.

***
Argentina-born, New York-based artist Mika Rottenberg is devoted to a
rigorous practice that combines film, architectural installation, and
sculpture to explore ideas of labor and the production of value in our
contemporary hyper-capitalist world. Using traditions of both cinema and
sculpture, she seeks out locations around the world where specific systems
of production and commerce are in place, such as a pearl factory in China,
and a Calexico border town. Through the editing process, and with footage
from sets built in her studio, Rottenberg connects seemingly disparate
places and things to create elaborate and subversive visual narratives. By
weaving fact and fiction together, she highlights the inherent beauty and
absurdity of our contemporary existence.

Join mark as together we explore the urgent work of artist Yinka Shonibare
CBE (RA). In this tour, we look to challenge our understanding of history,
tradition and the mechanisms supporting their constructions. Embarking on a
path towards unlearning - we aim to problematize, evoke and bear witness to
what makes us ‘us’.

Yinka Shonibare CBE is a British-Nigerian artist living in the United
Kingdom. Over the past decade, he has become well known for his exploration
of colonialism and post-colonialism within the contemporary context of
globalization. Working in painting, sculpture, photography, film, and
installation, Shonibare’s work examines race, class, and the construction
of cultural identity through incisive political commentary on the tangled
interrelationship between Africa and Europe and their respective economic
and political histories. Shonibare uses wry citations of Western art
history and literature to question the validity of contemporary cultural
and national identities.

[MCN-L] 笠Mike Kelley

2021-03-17 Thread Matthew Whitman
Hello everyone!
Tonight we explore the work of Mike Kelley in Considering Culture.
Join us as we explore abjection, youth, class, and the divide between high
and low culture.

Tickets are FREE and open to ALL. Please feel free to share.
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/considering-art-considering-culture-registration-145317142485

Together, we aim to explore the hidden meanings and mysterious
constellations established within this prolific artist's work as
psychology, philosophy, art theory, kitschy craft mediums, and awkward
adolescent scenarios push against art's hierarchical history.

In this tour, we ask: who/what defines culture? Where does it dwell? What
becomes of background noise? And, most importantly, just what did that bear
say to the monkey sitting opposite?

Looking forward to interacting with you at 7PM EST.
All the very best,
Matt

[MCN-L]  Jenny Holzer and Barbara Kruger

2021-03-03 Thread Matthew Whitman
Hello everyone!

Join us tonight for an interactive discussion.

Tonight - LIVE at 7PM EST
Considering Text.

*About this Event.*

Where and what are the borders between language, experience and space?

Together we venture into the work of two important contemporary artists’
whose practices feature the use of text : Jenny Holzer and Barbara Kruger.

In vastly different approaches, both artists measure our expectations of
written text, often questioning the boundaries of private and public
thought as relating to our experiencing of language.

In this tour, we will examine the roles of voice, context, scale,
appropriation, and how language is ultimately transformed in each artist’s
practice.

*>>>Tickets are FREE and open to ALL. Please feel free to share. *
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/140930253181

Looking forward to some facetime with you at 7PM EST.
All the very best,

[MCN-L]  Sarah Lucas

2021-02-24 Thread Matthew Whitman
Hello everyone!

Join us for a peek into the oh-so-evocative world of YBA Sarah Lucas.

I invite you to join the team and I, tonight at 7PM EST for Considering Art
: Considering Nudity as we continue to expand our FREE public programming.
More info below.

About this event.

Sarah Lucas is an English artist and part of the generation of Young
British Artists (YBA) who emerged during the 1990s. Her works frequently
employ visual puns and bawdy humor by incorporating photography, collage,
and found objects.

Tonight we explore some of Lucas’s most important projects, including early
sculptures from the 1990s that substitute domestic furniture for human body
parts.

In this LIVE 90 minute tour, we will consider the photographic
self-portraits that Lucas has produced throughout her career, biomorphic
sculptures - including her stuffed-stocking Bunnies (1997–ongoing) and NUDS
(2009–ongoing), the Penetralia series (2008–ongoing), and selections from
her installations at the Freud Museum in London (2000) and the British
Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (2015). These works, which complicate
inscribed sexual and social normativity codes, aim to evoke, shock and
problematize.

Tickets are FREE and open to ALL. Please feel free to share.
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/138529919719

Looking forward to interacting with you at 7PM EST.
All the very best,
Matt

[MCN-L]  Jennifer Packer

2021-02-17 Thread Matthew Whitman
Hello everyone!

I invite you to join the team and I, tonight at 7PM EST for Considering Art
: Considering Looking as we continue to expand our FREE public programming.
More info below.

Combining observation, improvisation and memory, Jennifer Packer’s intimate
portraits of friends, family members and flowers insist on the emotional
and physical essence of the contemporary Black lives she depicts.

While the casual repose of her portraits is the result of her care for the
sitters, Packer acknowledges her choice to paint figures as political,
stating: ‘Representation and particularly, observation from life, are ways
of bearing witness and sharing testimony’. 'My inclination to paint,
especially from life, is a completely political one. We belong here. We
deserve to be seen and acknowledged in real time. We deserve to be heard
and to be imaged with shameless generosity and accuracy.'

Join us this evening as together we explore visibility, identity and the
significance of being present. How do we show up? How are we seen? Who
listens? What are the barriers and systems that influence perception?
How/when might we move toward a more equitable society for all?

Tickets are FREE and open to ALL. Please feel free to share.

[MCN-L]  Edward Hopper & Alfred Hitchcock

2021-02-10 Thread Matthew Whitman
Hello everyone!

I invite you to join the team and I, tonight at 7PM EST for Considering Art
: Considering Windows as we continue to expand our FREE public programming.
More info below.


Many filmmakers of the 20th and 21st centuries do not shy away from the
effect of painter Edward Hopper’s visual influence on their work, but there
is perhaps none more deep and indeed striking than the congruences of
Hopper and Alfred Hitchcock.

More than mere ‘easter eggs’ of still-framed verisimilitudes - we can find
not only visual parallels between their works, but uncanny tonal and
methodological conversations as well - ones that reveal a much more
profoundly aligned reading and appraisal of modern American life.

Tickets are FREE and open to ALL. Please feel free to share.
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/considering-art-considering-windows-registration-137509244853?aff=Tonight


Looking forward to interacting with you at 7PM EST as together we delve
into the visual and narrative works of these two mid-century cultural icons.

[MCN-L]  Considering Collective 7PM EST.

2021-02-03 Thread Matthew Whitman
Hello everyone!


I invite you to join me tonight at 7PM EST for Considering Art :
Considering Collective, as together we explore the work of artist Aliza
Nisenbaum.

Working as a group, we aim to uncover and evaluate the many signifiers,
codes and interpolated meanings resonating from within the artist’s
large-format oil paintings. Amidst worldwide political, social, economic
and technological evaluations of ‘collaboration’, we ask - what does it
mean to both belong and operate as part of a team? How do we find self
within that of a collective? How does the continual influence of rule,
regulation and procedure bind with our understandings of self-expression
and identity?


Sign up here for your Zoom link - Tickets are FREE and open to ALL.
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/136892977581


Looking forward to seeing you at 7PM EST :)

[MCN-L] Tate Britain's Winter Commissions - Considering Christmas 7PM EST.

2020-12-23 Thread Matthew Whitman
Hello fellow educators,

Join us tonight at 7PM EST for a lively exploration of Tate Britain's
Winter Commissions - past and present.

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/considering-art-considering-christmas-registration-133159793527?aff=Tonight


It’s time to deck the halls and hang the mistletoe. But how is the art
world celebrating? Join us this evening for Considering Christmas - led by
Mark, as together we dust off the metaphors, string up the irony and place
social, political and economic considerations front and centre for a
Holiday Celebration like no other.

For the last 23 years, Tate Britain has commissioned a leading contemporary
artist to create a seasonal installation both inside and outside the
gallery. Artists including Tracey Emin, Gary Hume, Chila Kumari Singh
Burman and Cornelia Parker have produced works exploring the manifold
meanings of Christmas – many of them less celebratory and more
controversial than you might expect.

Excited to see you all soon!

All the best,
Matt

[MCN-L] In one hour (ticketing back online)

2020-12-02 Thread Matthew Whitman
Hello,


Join me in just one hour for a live tour of Tacita Dean's *Green Ray* and
*FILM* works!

Registration is FREE and open to all:
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/considering-art-considering-film-tacita-dean-registration-130595244893?aff=Tonight


In this tour, we will explore the medium-specific, filmic work of British
artist Tacita Dean CBE, RA. Dean’s practice, spanning nearly thirty years,
treats the medium of film as unique and distinct from other moving image
forms such as digital video.

Given her insistence on using this very specific and debatably
anachronistic medium, we will question what it means to record, manipulate
and experience time through a means as particular as motion picture film.


I look forward to seeing you at 7PM EST! This should be fun :)


All the very best,

Matt

[MCN-L] In 2 hours. Considering Film / Tacita Dean. 7PM EST

Hello!

I hope everyone is staying well :)

I would like to invite you to tonight’s Considering.Art event, LIVE via
Zoom in just a couple of hours from 7- 8:30 PM EST, Considering Film /
Tacita Dean, from - led by Matt.

Registration is FREE and open to all:

Given her insistence on using this very specific and debatably
anachronistic medium, we will question what it means to record, manipulate
and experience time through a means as particular as motion picture film.

In presenting film as art, what environment do we expect or even require
for engaging with an artist’s work? In a moment of remote-connectedness and
physical distancing, what is the bearing of a medium and a practice that
hinges on physicality? Join us after the Thanksgiving holiday as we build a
conversation from these questions and many more.


We look forward to seeing you later at 7PM EST.

[MCN-L] Tonight. Considering Effort / Francis Alÿs. 7PM EST

2020-11-25 Thread Matthew Whitman
Hello!

I hope everyone is well and taking care :)

I would like to invite you to tonight’s event, LIVE via Zoom for
Considering.Art™ : Considering Effort / Francis Alÿs, from 7- 8:15PM EST -
led by Matt.

Registration is FREE and open to all:

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/considering-art-considering-effort-registration-124957341773?aff=Tonight



The conceptual questioning of the role of ‘the artist’s hand’ is a debate
that can be traced back to Marcel Duchamp, if not beyond. Yet, as we find
ourselves re-examining, as a society, the roles and values of labor and
leisure in contemporary life.

What if we extend this critique to the labor of ‘the artist’? In the making
of art, what can be defined as ‘labor’? How does this effort from the
artist (or lack thereof) inform our valuing of art? Join us as we focus our
attention on two of Alÿs’ pieces, both of which directly question the value
of the ‘work’ in artwork.


We look forward to seeing you at 7PM EST.

All the very best,

Matt

[MCN-L] Soon  7PM EST this evening! Considering Lightscapes

2020-11-11 Thread Matthew Whitman
Hello everyone,

I hope you’re well :)

I warmly invite you to join us in just a few hours, LIVE via Zoom for
Considering.Art™ : Considering Lightscape, tonight 7- 8:00PM EST.

Registration is FREE and open to all:
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/considering-art-considering-lightscapes-registration-124955624637?aff=Tonight


Join us (in a couple of hours) NOV 11th 7-8PM EST for Considering
Lightscapes - led by Courtney. For this interactive tour, we will explore
the perceptual artwork of James Turrell. Using the mediums of light and
color, Turrell’s Lightscapes urge one to simultaneously look inwards,
outwards, and towards the sky. With his scientific and artistic visions,
light is transformed into a tangible mechanism for sight and used to create
spaces seemingly void of time, space, and location.

With our days filled with a constant stream of information and never-ending
notifications, what does it mean to immerse ourselves in pure and
distraction free lightscapes? How can light and color be a grounding
mechanism? How can we learn from Turrell’s use of immersion as a tool to
turn our mind inwards and apply it to other areas in life, to ultimately
more deeply and meaningfully connect us to the world?

We look forward to seeing you in just a couple of hours and thank you for
your continued support of our new, collaborative platform!

All the very best,
Matt

Hello,


I hope everyone is well and taking care. Needing a break from waiting on
the US election result? Doomscrolling?


Back by popular demand - Memes 2.0 is here to help.



If you are free, I warmly invite you to join us LIVE via Zoom for
Considering.Art™ : Considering Memes 2.0, tonight 7- 8:30PM EST.


Registration is FREE and open to all:

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/considering-art-considering-memes-20-registration-124954547415?aff=Tonight


Following a lively and insightful discussion during the original
Considering Memes presentation - get ready, as this time, we dive deeper
into the vast ocean that is meme culture.


Leading us further along the threads of conversation that formed back in
September, we invite you to join us as together we further explore: the
analog origins of memes, meme generation/creation, questions of
authorship/ownership, and a foray into meme genres/sub-genres.


Where does a meme ‘begin’ and ‘end’? What happens when a meme is not
humorous? Can a meme be radical? Together, in Considering Memes 2.0, we’ll
continue our dissection of this ubiquitous yet under-explored cultural
phenomenon.


We look forward to hearing from you all online later today and thank you
for your continued support of our new, collaborative platform.


All the very best,

Matthew
