Please join us for this engaging 20-minute Lunchtime Talk featuring the work of Ray Johnson. A New York Times art critic once labeled Johnson 鈥淣ew York鈥檚 most famous unknown artist.鈥� A contemporary of Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg, Johnson today is internationally recognized for his achievements in both collage and correspondence art. This month鈥檚 Art Talk will present some two dozen pieces of mail art that Johnson sent to the Haggerty Museum through the U.S. postal system in the early 1990s. Currently on view in the Museum鈥檚 anniversary exhibition, The Big 4-0 Vol. 2: New Views of the Collection, these wonderfully playful and witty creations will forever locate the Haggerty within Johnson鈥檚 seemingly infinite web of correspondents. After the discussion, you can stay to continue the conversation or explore the Haggerty's current exhibitions.

A gallery talk with Dr. Deanna Arble (Biology) and Lynne Shumow (Haggerty Museum of Art) featuring the exhibition Parallel Play: The Art of Science & the Science of Art.

Parallel Play: The Art of Science & the Science of Art was created as an integral component of Marquette鈥檚 Biology class, Creative Problem Solving. This cross-disciplinary course teaches STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) students to embrace divergent thinking as a path to innovative problem solving. The class is team-taught by Dr. Deanna Arble, Assistant Professor, Biological Sciences and Lynne Shumow, Curator for Academic Engagement, Haggerty Museum of Art.

Featuring work from the Haggerty鈥檚 permanent collection, the Parallel Play exhibition makes connections between the work of artists and scientists with a special emphasis on the essential elements of scientific research鈥攔ejection, revision and the formulation of new ideas. The exhibition aims to demystify the process of innovation across disciplines and to illuminate the multiple routes of discovery and interpretation that art has to offer.

Please join us for this engaging 20-minute Lunchtime Talk featuring the work of Nam June Paik. The Korean-born artist is widely considered the founder of video art. This month鈥檚 Art Talk focuses on his 1994 video sculpture Cage in Cage, a Victorian-style birdcage filled with active television monitors, currently on view in the Haggerty鈥檚 anniversary exhibition, The Big 4-0 Vol. 2: New Views of the Collection. Inspired by Paik鈥檚 admiration for the avantgarde composer John Cage, the work is a meditation on human perception that takes poetic form as a chorus of disparate audio-visual signals. After the discussion, you can stay to continue the conversation or explore the Haggerty's current exhibitions.

Please join us for this engaging 20-minute Lunchtime Talk featuring the work of Salvador Dal铆. Dal铆 is known for painting logic-defying imagery with meticulous skill, such as his famous melting pocket watches, but Dali鈥檚 Surrealism took many forms during his long career. This month鈥檚 Art Talk will focus on his Madonna of Port Lligat, painted in 1949 and currently on view in the Haggerty鈥檚 anniversary exhibition, The Big 4-0 Vol. 2: New Views of the Collection. Rendered with Dali鈥檚 characteristically immaculate brushwork, this stunning portrayal of the Virgin Mary and Christ Child brings Italian Renaissance art into dialogue with the Atomic Age. After the discussion, you can stay to continue the conversation or explore the Haggerty's current exhibitions.
