Apsara DiQuinzio, Senior Curator of Contemporary Art discusses the exhibition New Time: Art and Feminism in the 20th Century. Organized and on view at the Berkeley Art Museum, New Time presents a kaleidoscopic view of contemporary feminist artistic practices of the last 20 years. This landmark exhibition is international, intergenerational, and gender-inclusive in its scope, highlighting a diverse roster of emerging and established artists who have shaped the trajectory of contemporary art. 

Apsara DiQuinzio joined the Nevada Museum of Art in November 2021 as the new Senior Curator of Contemporary Art.

This talk will be hosted virtually via Zoom. 

Judy Chicago’s response to the monumental Earthworks of the American West was nearly simultaneous with their production. Beginning in 1968, Chicago embarked on a series of ephemeral Atmospheres performances using colored smokes and fireworks in the desert that were intended to “soften that macho Land Art scene.” Long overlooked by art historians and scholars, Chicago’s Atmospheres offer a critical counterpoint and essential context to the predominantly male Land Artists working in the desert during the 1960s and 70s. Chicago will be in conversation with William L. Fox, Peter E. Pool Director, Center for Art + Environment at the Nevada Museum of Art.

Ticket includes a hosted reception following the program.

Welcome the founders of the Land Art Generator Initiative, Robert Ferry and Elizabeth Monoian for a talk on the release of their new book, Land Art of the 21st Century: Land Art Generator Initiative at Fly Ranch. The creativity of Burning Man and the design innovation of the Land Art Generator Initiative responds to the climate crisis with a catalog of radical experiments in post-carbon living.

Set in the remote corner of Northern Nevada lies a magical stretch of land called Fly Ranch. With no access to the electrical grid or other public utilities, the Burning Man Project-owned site provides an opportunity to reinvent what human settlement can aspire to be in a world that has awakened to the impacts of anthropogenic climate change and the overconsumption of natural resources.

Land Art of the 21st Century presents creatively designed systems for energy, water, agriculture, shelter, and regeneration—a proof of concept for how to live in beauty and harmony with the Earth. The results are a glimpse into the near future of our sustainable landscapes, serving as a compendium of technologies and systems, a catalog of artworks, and a blueprint for other regenerative development projects.

This event will be held in person as well as streamed live via Zoom.

Per local, State, and CDC health guidelines for Covid-19, the Museum requires that masks are worn while indoors unless actively eating or drinking.
