Interpreting MoMA: Ruth Asawa
Please join us for MoMA’s bimonthly program welcoming individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing to participate in an ASL-interpreted, private gallery talk focusing on one of MoMA’s exhibitions, along with a wine and snack reception. In November we will explore the exhibition Ruth Asawa: A Retrospective with members of the curatorial team. Featuring some 300 artworks, this retrospective charts the artist’s lifelong explorations of materials and forms in a variety of mediums, including wire sculpture, bronze casts, drawings, paintings, prints, and public works. This survey celebrates the ways in which Asawa continuously transformed materials and objects into subjects of contemplation, unsettling distinctions between abstraction and figuration, figure and ground, and negative and positive space.
