Talk and Talk Back: Gallery Talk with Nadine Robinson

Join Nadine Robinson for a gallery discussion focusing on her use of minimalist aesthetics, sound, and scale in her powerful large-scale installation work.

Nadine Robinson, born 1968 presents artwork situated at the crossroads of the white modernist canon (her personal icons include Robert Ryman, painter of manifestly “white” canvasses) and the African American contemporary aesthetic. She works in a sleek, minimalist vocabulary, combining appropriated music and sounds, DJ equipment and unconventional materials. Her large-scale installations reflect social, cultural and historical politics and are informed by an array of influences from Christianity to Rastafarians to hip-hop culture. Her work often speaks to the disconnection between Western and non-Western culture, the past and the present, and art and popular culture.

Free with Museum admission and free to Members.
