PUBLIC PROGRAMS Free Tuesday Program The Dynamics of Installation Art Joshua Shirkey, curatorial associate, painting and sculpture, SFMOMA August 03, 2004 Noon - 1:00 p.m. Phyllis Wattis Theater The term installation art refers to an eclectic range of artworks that viewers can literally enter and experience. Incorporating diverse materials and media, installations extend beyond the static visual image to explore issues of time and memory, private and public space, race and identity, to name a few. In this presentation, Shirkey discusses installations currently on view by Robert Gober, Rebecca Horn, and Kara Walker. ........... Art and Conversation Between Art and Life: Biography As Artwork?
