Lenka Clayton: My Grandmother Lived To Be One Hundred Years Old
Gamble Auditorium
Join us for the 2021 Patricia and Edward Falkenberg Lecture with contemporary artist Lenka Clayton whose interdisciplinary work uncovers hidden truths about everyday life. Clayton will discuss her artistic practice and her new exhibition Comedy Plus Tragedy at MHCAM, mounted to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Joseph Allen Skinner Museum bequest to Mount Holyoke College.
The Patricia and Edward Falkenberg Lecture was established in 2014 to feature artists and art historians whose presentations relate to either the exhibition program or the permanent collection of the Museum. Patricia Falkenberg ‘64 served as a longstanding member of the Art Museum Advisory Board.
