June 13th, Noon-2pm

"Modernism: Old and Young" is a performance and conceptual experiment that asks adults and children to re-make or "interpret" canonical Modernist works in the hopes of renewing and memorializing the great tradition of modernist painting. Part performance, art-history class and painting workshop, the piece asks participants to look closely at the masterpieces of the last century and to replicate them on a small scale. An event that calls for earnest participation, "Modernism: Old and Young" recalls, spoofs and revitalizes the art of the past by channeling it through the perhaps unskilled yet always sincere hands of two generations.
