12/20 Causa Artium hosts Russian Art talks in New York City 4pm

WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT RUSSIAN ART

WHEN: Sunday, 20 December 2015 at 4pm
WHERE: The Prince Theatre – part of the Producers’ Club, Upstairs at 358
West 44th Street New York, NY, 10036

Causa Artium is kicking off a new initiative – a new ongoing series of
podcasts about Russian Art.
It’s about “WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT RUSSIAN ART” – as
viewers, as scholars and critics.

* What is the conversation we usually get …and what parts of it are not
really the point?
* More centrally: what are the most important things about Russian art – of
any period, any movement, any artist – that we really need to be focusing
on, but aren’t ……yet?

On Sunday 20 December, we gather to hear the initial experts speak to this
question – their talks will become the first podcasts in the new program.
Then they’ll join forces in a round-table discussion of the issues raised
in the talks – and more. Come and listen, ask your own questions, meet the
experts!

Talks will be in Russian and in English, at the speaker’s election.

Participants will include:

 + Aleksandra Shatskikh, possibly the world’s premiere expert on Malevich
and early 20th-century Russian avant-garde art.

 + Natalia Kolodzei, art historian, curator, director of one of the
world’s greatest collections of post-war Russian art.

 + Elena Sarni, artist and curator

 + Margaret Samu, art historian and scholar, teaches at New York
University, the Parsons School of Design, Yeshiva University, the New
School, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
