What is Contemporary Art? Place

The relationship between art and place goes beyond depiction. Artists like Olafur Eliasson, Graciela Iturbide, and Julie Mehretu are also driven by the dynamics of where an artwork is made and where it is shown. Co-presented by SFMOMA and Art21, this workshop is part of a series exploring three different aspects of the question, what is contemporary art? Each workshop encourages educators to think and work like artists, using thematic, inquiry-driven processes and strategies.
