Events: Short Course Series: What Is Left Unspoken, Love

Event Description

Join us for an immersive and discussion-based course exploring major themes presented in What Is Left Unspoken, Love, a comprehensive exhibition featuring thirty-five international artists working in a variety of media. The course, led by Dr. Katie Geha, will place the artists in historical context while also examining closely the premise of the exhibition. We’ll also review broad notions while looking at works in the show. Bolstered by short readings and creative writing exercises, we’ll consider the ways artists approach love and its many vicissitudes, from family, friendship, and romance to feelings of joy, disappointment, and heartbreak. 

The first class will meet in the Taylor Lobby of the Wieland Pavilion. After presenting your ticket at the Admissions Desk, please make your way to the check-in cart located in front of Ellsworth Kelly’s Blue, Green, Red.  This class meets on Wednesdays from June 15 to July 6.
