  Gallery Talk - Dialog with Curator Robert Sill   

Gallery Talk - Dialog with Curator Robert Sill

  • Location: Illinois State Museum, Springfield, Springfield
  • Date: Thursday, November 06, 2008, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

The Illinois State Museum will host a public program on the current exhibition Across the Divide: Reconsidering the Other. Join curator Robert Sill in an informal and intimate dialog about this contemporary art exhibit and its relationship to issues in our world today.

Across the Divide: Reconsidering the Other is a component of community-wide collaborative efforts to raise consciousness at the centennial mark of the Springfield Race Riots. Through the work of 16 leading contemporary artists the exhibition not only pays tribute to the victims of the 1908 Race Riots, but also focuses on where we stand today on the issues of racial, ethnic, geo-political and religious divides. 

Free and open to the public
