Let’s meet together! Online volunteer social to discuss & debate art and appropriation – save the date: April 25, 5:30pm – 6:30pm

Posted by on .

Hello volunteers! During this time apart, your Volunteer President Barbara Glaser and myself have been dreaming up ways to gather together, outside of the Gallery.

Next up: we invite you all to watch the new TVO documentary: Whaam! Blam! Roy Lichtenstein And the Art of Appropriation (watch on the TVO website, linked HERE), and then join us for a post-viewing zoom on Thursday April 25, to debate and discuss the movie.

STEPS:

  • Watch the movie, at your individual leisure, via the TVO website linked, HERE, anytime between now and April 25
  • Join us on Thursday April 25, at 5:30pm, on Zoom to debate and discuss as a group!

If you would like to share images (Lichtenstein works and others – we know this is a big topic in art) to discuss and debate with the group, feel free to send Holly an email message with the name of the artwork/artist you’d like to talk about, and Holly will upload and include their images in a PowerPoint presentation she’ll put together for the group viewing – so we can all see and talk about it all together on the night of 25th.

Some probing initial questions for your to consider:

  • Did Lichtenstein, a pop art icon, create art, or copy it?
  • Was Roy Lichtenstein an appropriation artist, or a plagiarist?

If you have any further questions, just get in touch with Holly. Until then, save-the-date, and we look forward to seeing you there!
