About
Meet the Makers is a program of artists talks and performative lectures that brings together today’s media makers, theorists, scholars, and artists to promote visual arts literacy and explore the ways we engage with emergent media and new technologies.
Art historian and curator Solveig Nelson will present in conversation with Associate Curator Kenta Murakami on the art history of Bender's work, including the various iterations of Total Recall shown during Bender’s lifetime. The conversation will explore the implications of staging a posthumous retrospective of an artist such as Bender who was obsessed with her own work’s obsolescence. Ultimately asking how Bender’s prescient work operates in the present, the audience will be encouraged to participate in this open-ended discussion.
