Hello everyone,

On behalf of the entire team, I would like to warmly invite you to join us this evening live from NYC via Zoom (7p ET / 4p PT) for our weekly free and interactive tour.

#152 Considering Art: Considering Art Is… - featuring urgent work by Lorraine O'Grady.

For more than four decades, Lorraine O’Grady (b.1934) has challenged cultural conventions. Her multidisciplinary practice utilizes the diptych as both a tool for institutional critique and a conceptual framework to interrogate Western society. As she argues, “With the diptych, there’s no being saved, no before and after, no either/or; it’s both/and, at the same time.” Insisting on both/and, for O’Grady, the diptych presents a constant exchange between equals, forwarding “miscegenated thinking” by eroding hierarchical oppositions. This thinking, which seeks to confront the limitations of a culture built on exclusivity and resistance to difference, advocates for concepts like hybridity, gender fluidity, and process rather than resolution.

In this tour, we embark on some close looking.

Together we ask: What do you see?
