Talk by Katherine Brodbeck on how contemporary artists draw on biblical narratives, followed by a live performance by the Columbus Symphony Orchestra.
Katherine Brodbeck leads a talk on biblical narratives in contemporary art at the Columbus Museum of Art on Saturday, March 6, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. The session is titled Mozart to Matisse | Worldbuilding and Judeo-Christian Themes in Contemporary Art, and it's staged in celebration of Haydn's The Creation.
Brodbeck is the museum's Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs, and she'll spend the first part of the hour talking about how contemporary artists draw on biblical stories to build rich worlds that envelop the viewer in new perspectives. It's a look at how these old narratives still show up in new work, and how artists use them to create something that pulls you in. The talk is the main event, and it's the part that sets the stage for what comes next.
Once the talk wraps, musicians from the Columbus Symphony Orchestra take over to close the hour with a live performance. It's a two-part program in one sitting: the curatorial talk first, then the live music. The whole thing fits into a single hour, so you're in and out in the afternoon.
