At the Drawing Center!
Artist Talk: Agnes Denes
Wednesday, February 6, 6:30 PM
Agnes Denes will present a slide lecture followed by a conversation with curator João Ribas. Agnes Denes (b. 1931) is a New York-based artist considered to be a pioneer of Conceptual art and the Environmental art movement. Denes addresses ecological, cultural, and social issues with works that are often monumental in scale, such as Wheatfield–A Confrontation (1982), a two-acre wheat field she planted and harvested in downtown Manhattan. Denes's drawings are an integral component of her projects and reflect an obsessiveness about craftsmanship. Seemingly computer generated, Denes's drawings are laboriously wrought by hand and take months (or years) to produce.

Admission is free
