HART Society to View Carrie Mae Weems Exhibit on November 9

Posted by on Wednesday, November 7, 2012 in Events, HART, VRC.

Join the Vanderbilt History of Art Society for ARTini: Carrie Mae Weems: Three Decades of Photography and Video at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts on Friday, November 9. Shaun Giles, educator for outreach at the Frist, will lead an informal conversation about some of the works included in the exhibition.

The group will meet at 6:30 p.m. in the parking lot in front of Cohen Hall, and the carpool will leave for the Frist shortly thereafter. Please RSVP through Anchorlink or email Emma Trawick (emma.c.trawick@vanderbilt.edu), Lexi McColl (alexandra.a.mccoll@vanderbilt.edu), or Laura Payne (laura.l.payne@vanderbilt.edu) and indicate whether you can drive and how many passengers you can bring.

Carrie Mae Weems is a socially motivated artist whose works invite contemplation on issues surrounding race, gender and class. Increasingly, she has broadened her view to include global struggles for equality and justice. This retrospective, which is composed of more than 200 objects—–primarily photographs but also written texts, audio recordings, fabric banners and videos—–will provide an opportunity to trace the evolution of Weems’s career over the past 30 years.
