SATURDAY 8 JUNE 2024 Radius Books and SITE SANTA FE present Pioneers of Practice: Corday, Frankenthaler, Glass, a multidiscplinary two-part program organized by artist Christine Corday.
“Pioneers of Practice” is a program series by multidisciplinary artist Christine Corday in an evolving practice with a material medium shared across all disciplines. The series delves into a billion-year swath of this medium and the innovative approaches, tools, and concepts of creative practice.
The JUNE 8th series Corday explores the pioneering material composition and agency in the approaches of Helen Frankenthaler with art scholar Douglas Dreishpoon; the material composition of Philip Glass and discussion of art as continued stellar evolution.
The two-part program includes a live performance of Philip Glass: A Madrigal Opera by violinist Karina Wilson: a composition conceived by Glass to receive its specific meaning or completion through the touch of stage director.
The two events are in-person and ticketed separately at $5 each; free for SITE members, students, and educators.
