Join guest curator Marek Wieczorek for a discussion of Videowatercolors: Carel Balth Among His Contemporaries, an exhibition that shows works by Dutch artist Balth in relation to a selection of artworks from the Henry’s permanent collection, among them Gerhard Richter, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Luisa Lambri. The talk will focus on how the exhibition explores the fascinating intersections between photography, painting, and new media.
