What is the relationship between art and death?
Artist, writer and co-founder of New York’s Morbid Anatomy Museum, Joanna Ebenstein’s projects are united by a fascination with things that flicker on the edges of categorical divides: death and beauty, eros and thanatos, animate and inanimate.
This talk will trace the evolution of these ideas through a discussion of her projects, past and present. In particular, Ebenstein will put forward her current research into the rituals and material culture surrounding Mexican Folk Saints and what they tell us about the power of objects.
Supported by the Stanley Picker Trust.
