Curator Walkthrough: July 27, 1 pm
July 25 – September 28, 2014
Sunday, July 27, curator Aspara DiQuinzio leads a walkthrough of the newly opened exhibition by Geta Bratescu at the Berkeley Art Museum. DiQuinzio, curator of modern and contemporary art, provides insight into the life and work of a prolific artist largely unknown to international audiences until quite recently. Bratescu (b. 1926) has been living and working in Bucharest since the 1950s in a dynamic combination of media, including but not limited to drawing, collage, photography, video, performance, and printmaking. MATRIX 254, Bratescu’s first solo U.S. museum presentation, includes a selection of works made between 1977 and 2000, including “The Studio,” an early film.
The curator walkthrough begins on July 27 at 1 pm.
