Borders, across the Americas and around the world, have come to represent spaces of violence, captivity, and death. How can artists, academics, and activists generate new stories and representations that allow us to challenge existing border politics and imaginaries? How can art help us actively and reflectively promote life over death, freedom over detention?

This month the Henry Art Gallery is partnering with the Goethe Institut Pop Up to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the highly influential and versatile artist Joseph Beuys (Germany, 1921-1986). Beuys believed strongly that everyone is an artist, and that art has the power to bring about social and political change. Join us as we discuss works in the Henry’s collection by Beuys, as well as a variety of artists who were influenced by him. Re/frame is a recurring program that delves into the Henry's extensive collection, highlighting a different group of objects each month.

What are the many conversations a work of art can incite? What do we experience when we sink into the red hues of Brittney Leeanne Williams’s Our Horizon (2019), and what do we feel when witnessing the regurgitation in Wangechi Mutu’s All the Way Up, All the Way Out (2012)? In this online workshop, we will practice unpacking and articulating our varied experiences as we virtually interact with some of the artworks featured in Plural Possibilities & the Female Body. We will engage in art writing that stages conversations between the artists, the art pieces, the world, and you–the viewers.

Most art is not fully original; artists draw inspiration from other art and the world around them. Some artists, however, take it one step further by co-opting imagery intentionally for their own various purposes. Whether it be in reference, irreverence, or an act of reclaiming, these artists have used imagery many of us may recognize to shine a new or different light on their reference (or source?) material. Re/frame is a recurring program that delves into the Henry's extensive collection, highlighting a different group of objects each month.
