Join Lucy I. Zimmerman, cocurator of our fall 2018 exhibition Mickalene Thomas: I Can’t See You Without Me, for a focused discussion surrounding collage and its role in both the creation and conception of the artist’s work. Exploring art historical precedents, popular culture, and memory along with close and active looking at select works on view, Zimmerman will argue that constructed representation and the making and breaking of subject and space are critical to understanding Thomas’s oeuvre.
