ArtBreak: Curatorial Conversation on Legendary

The KIA’s centennial exhibition Legendary: New Perspectives on the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts Collection features idiomatic and often unexpected pairings and groups of works from our permanent collection. Displayed in conversation with one another, these works have the potential to spark new interpretations and to reveal new meanings to the viewer. In celebration of the KIA’s centennial anniversary, the exhibition puts particular emphasis on works created by both locally and internationally known artists over the last 100 years. During this ArtBreak talk, learn more about Legendary with the exhibition’s curatorial team. Director of Curatorial Affairs Rehema Barber, Associate Curator of Collections and Exhibitions Katherine Ransbottom, and Postdoctoral Fellow James Denison will discuss the exhibition’s guiding themes as well as select works from the show.
