WHAT'S A NICE FEMINIST LIKE YOU DOING IN THE MODERNIST PAINTING FIELD?
Sunday, December 16, 2012 at 2 p.m.
Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Auditorium, 3rd Floor
at the Brooklyn Museum in New York

Harmony Hammond will talk about her recent near-monochrome paintings and monotypes, which both participate in and oppose the narrative of modernist painting. Hammond’s work introduces feminist and queer content into modernism, proposing a conversation between abstraction, materiality, and agency. This program is free with Museum admission.
