Artist Talk
Artist Talk: Inge Mahn

Thu, 02/28/2019
6:30 PM Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

Join artist Inge Mahn and Hirshhorn Curator-at-Large Gianni Jetzer at the Hirshhorn Museum's Lerner Room for a close look at Schulklasse [School-class] (1970), now on view in What Absence Is Made Of.

Inge Mahn graduated from the Academy of Arts in Düsseldorf, where she studied under Joseph Beuys, and has exhibited internationally. Her stark plaster works reexamine everyday objects that are at once easily recognizable and hauntingly distant. In celebration of the first time Schulklasse is on display at the Museum, Mahn and Jetzer will come together to discuss the seminal sculpture and the experiences and historical moments that inspired the artist’s creations over the last forty years.

We encourage you to arrive early. Lerner Room seating is limited. Any open seats may be released to walk-up visitors 10 minutes before the program.
