Rapp Lecture on Contemporary Art: Lotus L. Kang and Ebony L. Haynes (Free)

The Rapp Lecture on Contemporary Art features distinguished international leaders in the contemporary art world, including artists, curators, critics, and scholars. The program was established in 2009 in honour of Carol and Morton Rapp.

PLEASE reserve your own FREE ticket in advance at the AGO link below.

Join artist Lotus L. Kang and curator Ebony L. Haynes as they discuss Kang’s multi-disciplinary creative practice. They’ll explore how Kang uses unstable and light-sensitive materials to consider the relationship between the body and its environments, and how Haynes’ groundbreaking work leading New York’s 52 Walker Gallery led to them working together.

Lotus Kang is also short-listed for the upcoming Sobey Art Award. We'll visit her works at the National Gallery in Ottawa--on our upcoming trip.
