This public gallery talk focuses on Lisette Model's Reflections c. 1940, on view in the Diverse Modernisms installation at the National Gallery of Art East Building, Ground Level - Gallery 106A. The talk was a part of programming for the March 14 Evenings at the Edge event, Wonder Women, which celebrated the contributions of women in Modern Art.
Part of a 50 minute Gallery Talk at the National Gallery of Art titled “The Subject as Object.” The talk takes up Sol LeWitt’s Objectivity , Barkley Hendricks’ Sir Charles Alias Willie Harris, and Byron Kim’s Synecdoche as case studies for examining the slippages that occur at the meeting point of human subjectivity and scientific objectivity. We question the use of rigid ocular conventions in fabricating false racial taxonomies.
