    Lecture Series, In-Sight: Looking Deeper and Differently

    Lecture by Helen Molesworth, Houghton Curator of Contemporary Art, Harvard Art Museum/Fogg Museum

    Rachel Harrison's I'm with Stupid, in the Harvard Art Museum's collection, is an aggressive and funny sculpture that refuses easy interpretation or categorization. It is as painterly as it is sculptural, and while as sculpture it nods to the history of the medium, its materials very much feel like the children's craft table at summer camp. The evocations of childhood are complicated by consumerist motifs and references to death, among many other details that open the door to an associative chain of interpretive possibilities.

    Join us for a new series of lectures that will explore individual objects from the Harvard Art Museum collection and beyond. Each lecture will look deeply at a single work of art, inviting interpretations that probe beneath the surface. Approaching each work from multiple perspectives, we will examine the techniques, contexts, and stories that helped shape these exceptional works, and their significance to the Art Museum.

    Series tickets $90 (members $60; complimentary series admission for members at Sustaining level and above). Individual lectures $18 (members $12).
    Space is limited and registration is strongly encouraged; please call 617-495-0534 or email artmuseum_membership@harvard.edu for more information.
