New York-based artist Gordon Hall’s lecture is presented in conjunction with the Contemporary Arts Center’s current exhibition, The Perfect Kiss (QQ)* , wherein artist and sculptor Matt Morris aims to address how gender and sexuality are understood in abstract, minimal artworks. Using Morris and artist James Lee Byars as a backdrop, Hall addresses the contemporary moment of broadening LGBTQ identities, and will work through issues of sculpture, installation, gender and sexuality, addressing the ways in which we might learn how art can demonstrate ways to see bodies differently from the creative research of sculptors and object makers.
