1:30 pm: Digital reception for participants to socialize
2 pm: Presentation on Nothing Is So Humble: Prints from Everyday Objects

Join us for an online presentation on Nothing Is So Humble: Prints from Everyday Objects led by a Deaf educator.

This focused exhibition, drawn from the Whitney’s collection, will look at the creative and irreverent ways that seven artists–Ruth Asawa, Sari Dienes, Pati Hill, Kahlil Robert Irving, Virginia Overton, Julia Phillips, and Zarina–have employed the everyday objects around them to make prints. Nothing Is So Humble takes its title from an evocative proposition by Dienes that recognized aesthetic possibilities in the most mundane of subjects: “Bones, lint, Styrofoam, banana skins, the squishes and squashes found on the street: nothing is so humble that it cannot be made into art.”

The presentation begins at 2 pm.

Free with registration. A select number of spaces are held for student observers fluent in ASL. Please email AccessFeedback@whitney.org to inquire.

A Zoom link will be sent to guests in a confirmation email prior to March 6.
