| MOA Discussion on Art and Identity | There is a lot to talk about in the Brigham Young University Museum of Art's new contemporary art exhibition “Mirror Mirror: Contemporary Portraits and the Fugitive Self.” On Thursday, Nov. 19, 2009, at 7 p.m., the museum hopes to get people talking about the explorations of identity and perception presented in this exhibition by facilitating conversations in the gallery space. Small discussion groups, each lead by a museum student docent, will focus the conversations on a particular work of art. After this initial conversation has ended, visitors can join another conversation group in front of a different painting. The conversations will last until 8:30 p.m., leaving time for visitors to participate in a few different groups. "We are excited to give people the opportunity to learn and share about this exhibition in the gallery space," says Rita Wright, Museum of Art educator. "Not only will this conversation-based approach put visitors in close proximity to the works in the exhibition, but it will also give them the chance to participate and have interaction with our student docents, who are well versed in the digital-media based visual language used in these artworks." Admission to the “Mirror Mirror” Conversations is free; however, seating is limited. Please arrive early. Contact the museum for more information: (801) 422-8287. |
