Join MAD for a special evening with pioneering American feminist artist Judy Chicago. Most famous for her work exploring traditionally “feminine” materials such as fiber and ceramics, seen in her seminal piece The Dinner Party, Chicago is less known for her work in pyrotechnics, smoke and dry ice
During this special evening conversation, Chicago sits down with Elissa Auther, MAD’s Windgate Research Curator, to discuss these little known works dating from the late 1960s to today. The conversation will highlight this singular artist’s approach to creating dazzling visual effects of pyrotechnics in the creation of monumental, site-specific installations most recently seen in the work “A Butterfly for Brooklyn” (2014). This event is part of “Judy Chicago: On Fire,” a two-night event exploring Judy Chicago’s works in pyrotechnics hosted by the Brooklyn Museum and the Museum of Arts and Design.
