Join Madeline Murphy Turner for an introduction to a recent installation, Drawn to Earth: Contemporary Art and Environment in the Americas, which features more than 15 artworks from the collections, many of which are new acquisitions. Turner will delve into how and why contemporary artists across the Americas use drawing to contend with topics of the land, territory, and ecological crises—all while pushing the medium’s boundaries into the realms of conceptual and performance art.
This gallery talk is part of our New on View series, highlighting recent gallery installations and presenting new insights into recent acquisitions or old favorites.
Led by:
Madeline Murphy Turner, Emily Rauh Pulitzer Curatorial Fellow in Contemporary Drawings, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art
