Learning How to Desire
Conversation to follow with curator Lauren Leving, moderated by Charlotte Feng Ford '83 Curator of Contemporary Art Emma Chubb
Public reception at Smith College Museum of Art
Rooted in SCMA's exhibition of Don't mind if I do, which is expanded to include drawings from architect Phyllis Birkby's archives, 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.
