Special event tonight:

Pop-Up Gallery Talk:
The Canvas and the Screen: Morris Louis’ Alpha Iota (1960)
6:45 p.m.
Jubitz Center for Modern & Contemporary Art, 2nd Floor
Free with admission

Morris Louis - Alpha IotaWhat does post-WWII abstract painting have to do with the history of personal computers? When should painting be considered a new media form? What is the relationship between an Apple or Microsoft graphical user interface and the wide open expanse of a Morris Louis Unfurled painting? Join us for this $5 Friday pop-up gallery talk to enjoy a close look at Morris Louis’ Alpha Iota (1960). The 45-minute interactive presentation will address these questions and situate Louis’ work both within the history of art and the history of the modern computer interface.
