An Afternoon with Chris Antemann: Talk, Tour, Demo
In celebration of the opening of
Chris Antemann: Forbidden Fruit, join the artist for an afternoon talk, tour, and demonstration of her creative practice. Antemann’s work explores the great eighteenth-century porcelain figurative tradition in a contemporary context with the Garden of Eden as metaphor. Her sculptures tell modern stories of desire, exploring narratives of domesticity, social etiquette, and taboos that allude to love, passion, power, and jealousy.
Talk | 2:00 pm
The afternoon starts with a talk by the artist, providing visitors with insights into her influences and process—specifically her creative collaboration with the renowned MEISSEN Porcelain Manufactory dating back to 2011.
Tour | 2:45 pm
Following a talk by the artist, visitors will join Antemann on the 5th floor for a tour of the exhibition. As Antemann highlights key works that illustrate her distinctive style, visitors will gain insights into how she draws from history—both art history and social history—and explore how curatorial choices affect how objects are seen and interpreted.
Demo | 3:30 pm
Following a talk and tour of the exhibition, Antemann will conclude the afternoon with a live demonstration in the Artist Studios. She will discuss using porcelain as a material and re-create one of her classic figures, a little maid inspired by the exhibition.
