Gallery Talk: Heavy Metal
About The Event
Explore metal work instead of doing work!
Express lunchtime talksâ30 minutes or fewerâare offered most Wednesdays. Facilitated by museum staff members, these conversation-driven thematic talks highlight three to six works on view.
This week, NMWA Digital Editorial Associate Emily Haight discusses a sampling of works in Heavy MetalâWomen to Watch 2018.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
The fifth installment of NMWAâs Women to Watch exhibition series showcases contemporary artists working in metal, including sculpture, jewelry, and conceptual forms. Heavy Metal engages with the fluidity between âfineâ art, design, and craft, whose traditional definitions are rooted in gender discrimination.
