* Talk: Nicole EisenmanTalk: Nicole Eisenman

Time: 6:30 pm

New York-based artist Nicole Eisenman creates self-aware and psychologically probing works, including installations, animations, drawings, collages, assemblages, found objects, murals, and paintings. Much of her work focuses on different ways of coping; however, she uses humor in a way that is different from her contemporaries. Eisenman offers insight into the isolation experienced in the pursuit of artistic creation and the human need to seek diversion from that pursuit.

* Panel Discussion Panel Discussion

Time: 6:00 pm

Panel Discussion and Opening Reception: Unfinished Business Selected Work by Annette Lemieux presents a combination of select prior work by the artist, revisited and recontextualized, which forms a direct link with new work to reveal the relationship between object, mediated memory, personal experience, and cultural history. The exhibition as a whole is the perfect epilogue to The Strange Life of Objects: The Art of Annette Lemieux, the first critical overview of her work from the past twenty-five years, recently on view at the Worcester Art Museum in Worcester, Massachusetts. The panel discussion features Lemieux, curator Lelia Amalfitano, and Susan Stoops, curator of contemporary art at the Worcester Art Museum.

How, in a world of uncertainty and constantly shifting notions of what constitutes a work of art, can we identify masterpieces?
