About this Event

Join us at the Brookline Arts Center for a conversation with artist and Northeastern University contemporary art history scholar .

In association with Hechtman's exhibition , the discussion aims to explore how humans figure into the natural world, how contemporary art asks questions of the viewers, and how different media provide different contexts for interpretation.


is a visual artist who makes works dealing with issues of agency and control, absence and presence and life and death in her multi-faceted studio practice. The natural world features prominently in her works, which has allowed her to travel extensively, and to contemplate the familiar in new ways. She was a Fulbright Scholar in Reykjavik at Lístaháskolí Íslands in 2019 and is currently Associate Chair of Art + Design at Northeastern University.


is Associate Professor of Contemporary Art History at Northeastern University. Her scholarship has been recognized with awards from The Andy Warhol Foundation, the Terra Foundation for American Art, and the Getty Research Institute. She is currently completing Pattern Recognition: Contemporary Art in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, which argues for a “latent space of art history” — mapping how computational models and machine learning reframe the production, reception, and historiography of contemporary art. A frequent speaker at cultural institutions worldwide, Sutton continues to deepen critical understanding of contemporary art’s entanglement with technological, political, and material systems.
