DANNIELLE TEGEDER + TANNER WOODFORD

In conjunction with the 2019 Chicago Architecture Biennial, Carrie Secrist Gallery will be hosting a discussion between Dannielle Tegeder, and Tanner Woodford on November 23, from 2-4PM. This discussion will explore painting in the expanded field as it relates to questions of participation, authenticity, place, development and distribution. Questions considered may include: What are the historical implications of a narrowly defined creative act?, How can a broad-based approach to inclusive learning methodologies use art and architecture as structure? and, Who might benefit most - or least - from exposing the commodified nature of cultural consumption?
