Talk: Brook Ziporyn on Of Mythic Worlds

Join ancient and medieval Chinese religion and philosophy scholar and author Brook A. Ziporyn in our galleries for a wide-ranging conversation to celebrate the last week of the exhibition Of Mythic Worlds: Works from the Distant Past through the Present.

The exhibition brings together fifty-three works by more than thirty artists including Jordan Belson, Lee Bontecou, Cameron, Barbara Chase-Riboud, Walter De Maria, Steffani Jemison, Duane Linklater, Yutaka Matsuzawa, Georgia O’Keeffe, Betye Saar, Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri, and Jack Whitten, among others. Spanning a wide range of historical periods and cultural traditions, "Of Mythic Worlds" highlights the esoteric and often elusive pursuit of understanding phenomena that are outside of our objective, worldly experience.
