Gala Porras-Kim: The reflection at the threshold of a categorical division Opening Celebration
Thurs., Feb. 27, 6–8 p.m., Free, no museum admission required
Join us for the opening of the latest exhibition in our Forum series with artist Gala Porras-Kim. In dialogue with curators at Carnegie Museum of Art over the past two years, Porras-Kim has been trawling the museum's database to gain a deeper understanding of its holdings. Her findings reveal overlapping areas in the collections of Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History and Carnegie Public Library, each institution stewarding their objects differently—as art, science, and information, respectively. Through a new series of works on view in this exhibition, Porras-Kim questions the conceptual frameworks and individual subjectivities that influence presenting and understanding an object as a work of art.
A toast to the artist will take place at 6:30 p.m. in Café Carnegie.
