Join Christine Mehring, curator of David and Alfred Smart Museum of Art and professor at the University of Chicago, for a public talk on Monochrome: Calder and Tara Donovan. Learn how Donovan's practice fits into a fascinating lineage of global artists. Christine Mehring co-edited the volume Monochrome Multitudes, which is forthcoming from the University of Chicago Press. She works on modern and contemporary art. Her research, writing, and teaching focus on abstraction, particularly how non-mimetic forms, colors, and non-traditional materials come to signify specific historical contexts; postwar European art, especially the impact of World War II and the formation of a continental and international art world; the cross-overs between art and design, including public art, interior and furniture design, wall-painting, the traditionally feminine applied arts like weaving and embroidery; and photography and the relations between old and new media, including their convergences with histories and practices of abstract art.
