THE PAST IS NOW
Historic Sites as Venues for Contemporary Art
Sunday, September 30, 3:00 p.m. at Rokeby Museum, Ferrisburgh, VT
Join artist and writer Ric Kasini Kadour for a lecture and slideshow exploring what happens when historic sites and contemporary art join forces to bring ideas from the past into the present.
Using examples ranging from the Palace of Versailles and New York City's Governors Island, to Vermont's Kent Museum in Calais, Kadour will also share illustrative research initiatives conducted in the U.S. and England, and lead a discussion of what the fusion of history and art can mean. Is art the new mode of interpretation and are artists the new interpreters?
Help Rokeby Museum dream a little. How might the fusion of art and history enhance the visitor experience at Rokeby?
