Sunday Object Talk - Hannah Tishkoff ’18

Sunday, October 9, 2016 at 2:00pm to 2:30pm

Allen Memorial Art Museum
87 North Main Street, Oberlin, OH 44074

Hannah Tishkoff ’18 will speak about a recent acquisition to the Allen Memorial Art Museum (AMAM) collection, Fred Wilson’s LIBERATION from 2012, which combines Wilson's ongoing engagement with flag imagery with his signature blown glass forms. This work is currently on view in the exhibition Black to the Powers of Ten. 

Offered most Sundays during the academic year, these talks are orientated specifically towards the casual visitor to the AMAM. Each talk focuses on one work in the collection or on view in a current exhibition, and lasts approximately fifteen minutes plus questions. Conducted by an Oberlin College student docent, these talks are a fantastic opportunity to learn about new objects or revisit old ‘friends’ from the collection.

Each student-led talk focuses on a work in one of the galleries, including some of the most famous in the AMAM collection.

Fall semester talks begin on September 11 and run through December 4 (except for October 16 and 23, and November 27).
