About the Program

An intergenerational panel of art makers and thinkers come together to speak about process and materials. Art historian Kate Nesin moderates a conversation between artists Diane Simpson and Jessi Reaves (whose exhibition is currently on view at The Arts Club), both of whom incorporate furniture and design sources into their sculptural practices, exploring functionality, inherent formalism, and cultural reference.
