Description
The Rachofsky Collection 2020 Graduate Symposium at The Warehouse Dallas, Texas, November 6, 2020 Deadline: May 15, 2020 The Rachofsky Collection announces an open call for submissions for its 2020 Graduate Symposium at The Warehouse on the theme The Yielding Grid, with keynote speaker Michelle White, Senior Curator at the Menil Collection. This symposium will examine artists who use geometry to address questions of affect, identity, and vulnerability, and who engage with the psychological implications of the grid. A foundational part of The Rachofsky Collection is the aesthetic of global minimalism and its legacies in the work of artists such as Charles Ray, Judy Chicago, Anne Truitt, Richard Tuttle, Jim Hodges, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Liz Larner, Mona Hatoum, and Leonor Antunes; as well as the movements Post-Minimalism, Arte Povera, and Mono-ha. We invite master’s and doctoral students to present their scholarly work on a host of topics related to geometry and the grid. Students invited to present papers at the symposium will have the opportunity to access works in the collection during a two-day, partially-funded research visit during Summer 2020.
