Tuesday Tea Talks
Join us on the second Tuesday of each month to hear a wide range of gallery talks that highlight works in the permanent collection or in current exhibitions. All talks begin at 2:30 pm and are followed by tea and light refreshments in the East Gallery.
February 14 - Erika Raeburg (AMAM Curatorial Assistant, Office of Academic Programs) will discuss the work of contemporary artist and “experimental geographer” Trevor Paglen, who has tracked and photographed classified reconnaissance satellites in the Earth’s orbit. Paglen’s work invites us to consider the complex visual texture of secrecy itself and how it operates in contemporary society.
March 13 - Melissa Duffes (AMAM Media and Publications Coordinator) will present “Search for Singularity,” in conjunction with the exhibition Italy on Paper, which examines picturesque tourism and the search for an ‘authentic’ experience by 18th-and early 19th-c. travelers in England and Scotland.
April 10 - Libby Murphy (Oberlin College Assistant Professor of French) will present “Paris and Modernism”: a discussion of Paris as a hotbed of avant-garde experimentation in the 1920s, with a focus on the places and people that helped artists, writers, sculptors, architects, composers, and fashion designers come together and collaborate.
May 8 - Senior Tuesday Tea: This special program will feature an Oberlin College Senior, selected through a call for papers by the AMAM, who will present a talk focusing on one of the works in the museum’s collection.
