About this Event
Amant presents a launch for Burning Down the House: Rethinking Family, published in conjunction with Kunstmuseum St. Gallen’s 2024 exhibition of the same name, with curator Melanie Bühler. Related to subjects explored in Amant’s exhibition On Education, Bühler’s publication exposes how rare the topic of family is in contemporary art. While feminist artists have thematized the roles of women, caretakers, and mothers, the family has been surprisingly absent. Burning Down the House untangles some of the crucial problems, beliefs, and contradictions that the family as an institution embodies and takes a close, critical view of family constructs across geographies, histories, and scales. The launch will include an introduction to the publication followed by a brief Q&A with copies available for purchase.
Amant programs are always free. RSVPs are strongly encouraged. Seating is first come, first served with some standing room available. Doors for Burning Down the House: Rethinking Family will open at 5:45 on Thursday, March 27 in our Bookstore and Café, located at 315 Maujer.
