Artists in Conversation: Ali Banisadr and Alexander Nagel, Craig Hugh Smyth Professor of Fine Arts, The Institute of Fine Arts, New York University

The final talk by the Katonah Museum of Art’s featured artists, Ali Banisadr, and art historian Alexander Nagel discuss how Renaissance-era ideas about art, time and history inform Banisadr’s contemporary artistic practice.  They will unpack the Renaissance concept of cyclical time—where past motifs, spaces, and rituals continually reappear—and its influence on Banisadr’s contemporary practice. Reception to follow. 

Each event: $20 Members / $25 Non-Members
