Opening-Day Talk: Michael Duncan, James Casebere, and Siri Engberg
At the opening-day talk at the Walker for the exhibition Lifelike, Michael Duncan, LA-based critic/independent curator and corresponding editor for Art in America; Lifelike artist James Casebere; and exhibition curator Siri Engberg discussed the role of the real in contemporary art.
Presented in conjunction with Lifelike, on view at the Walker, February 25–May 27, 2012.
Lifelike, works based on everyday objects invoked a dreamlike world, such as Charles Ray’s Bath (1989)—a liquid-filled sculpture embedded in the wall that elicits a feeling of hovering above it."
