Lectures and Talks

Join artist Kent Monkman and curator John Lukavic for a conversation about Monkman’s new exhibition, “History is Painted By the Victors,” at the Denver Art Museum. For the first time ever, Monkman’s work is presented in the United States on a grand scale. His work brings history firmly into the present, using sly humor and flair to look critically at the stories that shape our society. Listen as they discuss Monkman’s artistic practice, his use of visual citations that draw from global art histories, the importance of learning more complete histories that are inclusive of intentionally marginalized voices, and how this exhibition came together.

Stephen Prina is an art polymath. Since the late 1970s, Prina has moved nimbly between the disciplines of painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and music. His projects reference art history, personal biography, and musical compositions that shift and change depending on the context in which they are presented. Prina often appropriates the work of other artists, exploring the post-studio afterlife of objects and recordings presented in galleries and museums, and received by critics and historians of art. Through his engagement with these works, Prina highlights the shifting nature of art’s reception and interpretation across time. (less)
