Learning How to Desire
Public reception to follow across the street at the Smith College Museum of Art

Rooted in the two current exhibitions, artist Finnegan Shannon will give a talk about where fantasy lives in their practice. They'll touch on sensory pleasures, the luxury of options, and the ways that Phyllis Birkby's notion of the "messiness of life" makes fantasies richer and more potent.
