Polly Apfelbaum: Sampling a Sampler Sampling
20 January–21 April 2024
Opening: Friday 19 January | 5–7pm
Polly Apfelbaum creates a new installation of unaltered, commercially produced fabrics laid out in a grid on the floor.
The installation is an evolution of her well-known "fallen paintings," which are in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art and the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Experiencing "Sampling a Sampler Sampling," we are forced to look down, literally, on artwork that encompasses design, craft and traditional women's work.
Artist Q&A: Polly Apfelbaum on "Sampling a Sampler Sampling"
Saturday 24 February | 4–4.45pm
Mitchell Art Museum will be hosting an in-gallery talk with Polly Apfelbaum and the museum's Manager of Artistic Inquiry, Jenny Cawood. The artist will discuss the meaning of her work and how certain art forms are "looked down upon" along gender lines.
Following the Q&A, there will be a Public Exhibition Celebration from 5–6pm.
Visit the museum's website for further event details.
