PAST EXHIBITION
Tuesday Evenings at the Modern with Michael Auping
October 21, 2008—October 21, 2008
Press Release
These lectures in the Modern's auditorium begin at 7 pm. The Tuesday Evenings series brings artists, scholars, and critics to discuss their work each week at the Modern. The fall series begins September 2 and ends November 18. Admission is free and open to the public. Free admission tickets can be picked up at the Modern's admission desk beginning at 5 pm on the day of the lecture. Seating begins at 6:30 pm and is limited to the first 250 ticketholders. A live broadcast of the lecture will be shown in Café Modern for any additional guests. The Museum galleries and Café Modern will remain open until 7 pm on Tuesdays during the series, (regular gallery admission charge applies).
Michael Auping, the Museum's chief curator, discusses the Tadao Ando-designed gallery spaces of the Modern from a behind-the-scenes curatorial viewpoint in Installing the Modern. For this enlightening presentation, Auping shares his choices for pairing certain key works from the collection with different spaces in the museum; specifically Anselm Kiefer's Book with Wings, Martin Puryear's Ladder for Booker T. Washington, Richard Serra's Vortex, Carl Andre's Slit, and the new acquisition and placement of Roxy Paine's stainless steel trees, Conjoined. It is always rewarding to hear from Auping, as he has been a favorite of the Tuesday Evenings series throughout the life of this program, bringing his knowledge, vast experience, and quick wit to the various subjects he has presented over the years. This is sure to be another popular event, so arrive early to claim a seat.
