Description: |
Join multidisciplinary Lauren Prousky and the curatorial team at the Museum of Jewish Montreal to learn more about Lauren’s practice, her experiences as an artist amid the pandemic, and her ongoing series "To build tiny monuments is to gather what's there." As the basis of her forthcoming MJM digital exhibition, this series reflects on a particular “Jewish impulse of collecting” that provokes memory, storytelling, family ties, and the artist’s relationship with facets of cultural Judaism. By using found objects, Lauren’s works – spanning readymade sculptures, textiles, paintings, and installations – are collectively informed by the organized chaos of collections that she was surrounded by throughout her own upbringing. This event is free and will be held via Zoom. Participants will receive their Zoom link three hours prior to the beginning of the event. |
