Linda Weintraub: (NEVER)ENDINGS: Flying Pigs. Slaying Cockroaches. Devouring Humans
Renowned artist-curator Linda Weintraub combines a slide/talk with an interactive discussion with attendees. The talk Artist-curator, Linda Weintraub, will combine a slide/talk with an interactive discussion with attendees. The talk examines three distinct approaches to death as conveyed by three renowned contemporary art works: Damien Hirst’s “Pigs Might Fly”, Catherine Chalmers’ “American Cockroach” series, and Jae Rhim Lee’s “Infinity Mushroom” shroud. Her presentation of each artist’s work will culminate in a few provocative questions addressed to the attendees. The questions emerge from the multi-species considerations of death posed by these challenging artworks.
