Discover the art of Barbara Kruger with UHP Program Officer Catherine Chandler on a personal tour of “The Tower” of the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art. Though her work seems familiar in the age of the internet meme, Kruger was a pioneering figure in the 80s and keeps her relevance today, pairing black and white photos with slogans on feminism, consumerism, politics, and desire.
Catherine earned her Bachelor’s in art history at Wheaton College, her Master’s in art history at the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU, and pursued further graduate work at Bryn Mawr.
Saturday, October 8, meet at the Honors Townhouse (714 21st Street NW) at 3pm before hopping onto the metro to L’Enfant Plaza.
To join the tour, contact Catherine directly at cbrady@gwu.edu.
