Event Description

Grab a drink and join us as we read Undermining: A Wild Ride Through Land Use, Politics, and Art in the Changing West by award-winning author, art historian, and social critic Lucy R. Lippard. Working from her own experience of life in a New Mexico village, Lippard addresses a number of fascinating themes―including fracking, mining, land art, adobe buildings, ruins, Indian land rights, the Old West, tourism, photography, and water. Undermining offers a provocative new perspective on the relationship between art and place in a rapidly shifting society. Carter curator Spencer Wigmore will lead a private tour of various artworks in the Carter’s collection that connect to the book before we dive into discussion.

Purchase Undermining: A Wild Ride Through Land Use, Politics, and Art in the Changing West in the Museum Shop.

American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation may be provided during this event upon advance request.
