Takeout Tuesdays: Lunchtime Conversations About Art
Word of Art: Stringing Traditional and Contemporary
A shower of symbols waiting to be read, Liu Jianhua's Collected Letters comprises 1,600 white porcelain pieces — letters from the Roman alphabet and fragments of Chinese characters — suspended in mid-air. In this Takeout Tuesday led by docent Kasey Yang, we'll use this work as a springboard to connect Chinese artistic traditions with contemporary ideas.
ABOUT TAKEOUT TUESDAYS
“Take out” a taste of art! Join museum docents and fellow art lovers for interactive lunchtime encounters with selected artworks from the collection. We’ll gather in a Zoom meeting to look closely at compelling works using high-resolution images and learn some fun facts. Each week will focus on a different topic. Simply turn on your microphone to join the discussion.
Closed captions are available. Takeout Tuesdays will be offered every Tuesday while social distancing requirements curtail our on-site programming.
Takeout Tuesdays are free for members. Not a member? Join today! Use promo code NEWMEM20 for $20 off new memberships.
