"Tastebreakers": Art in the Afternoon with Karen Finley

Join internationally renowned artist and educator Karen Finley as she guides viewers through single works of art from Art of Another Kind: International Abstraction and the Guggenheim, 1949–60 in this writing workshop. By providing prompts to map the vernacular of visual abstraction onto written expression, Finley leads an investigation into notions of gesture, the elusive exotic, and the perception of place. Framed by collaborative close looking and intimate gallery conversations, the workshop engages participants in textual exercises as a means of generating a personal vocabulary for contemplation and inspiration.
