Art & Culture Lecture: Merrill Falkenberg

Tuesday, November 23, 7:30 pm

installation view for "All the More Real" at the Parrish Art Museum

Don’t miss tomorrow night’s lecture by Merrill Falkenberg, independent curator, writer and art advisor. With artist Eric Fischl of All the More Real, she co-curated a group exhibition on realism and hyperrealism at the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, NY.
Ms. Falkenberg's lecture will focus on intimacy, empathy and the different strategies figurative artists use to draw or deflect the viewer's attention to the work.

Recently, she has been the curator of art at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, CT and prior to that held the same position at the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, NY. She earned her Ph.D. in Art History from Stanford University where her disseration was one of the first written on video art.



All lectures are free and open to the public, see you there!

Next up: Alison Elizabeth Taylor , Tuesday, November 30, 7:30pm
