“Bridging the Liberal Arts” features scholars from the humanities, social sciences, and arts in conversation about artworks by Sherrie Levine and Edouard Duval-Carrié currently on view in the Bridges III exhibition in The Gallery at UTA. The works, generously on loan from Art Bridges Foundation, attest to myths and mythmaking in the Americas - exploring the histories, cultures, and questions our geographies, biographies, and identities both shape and by which they are shaped themselves. Panelists will address questions of history, cultural experience, identity, and how artistic reproduction of these issues can enrich and complexify such questions. Refreshments will be available for an informal discussion session in the gallery foyer immediately following the panel presentation.
