The museum is currently closed for building conservation. Visit our website for project updates, online programs, and collections access!

Art in Context Collecting the World to Know the World — Sir Hans Sloane’s Drawing Albums Tuesday, October 31, 12:30–1 pm ET Online   The vast collections of Sir Hans Sloane (1660–1753) were the foundations of three national institutions: the British Library, the British Museum, and the Natural History Museum. A royal physician and natural philosopher of insatiable curiosity who was secretary and president of the Royal Society, Sloane attempted to encompass the world and its knowledge through the creation of an encyclopedic collection to be left to the nation. In this talk, Kim Sloan will examine recent efforts to reconstruct his collections and provide an overview of Sloane’s “paper museum” of one hundred albums of more than 20,000 drawings. Sloan is a Visiting Scholar at the YCBA and former curator of British drawings and watercolors at the British Museum.   REGISTER TODAY!

AT HOME: ARTISTS IN CONVERSATION Holly Hendry Friday, April 14, 12–1 pm Online    Holly Hendry talks with Phillip Edward Spradley, cultural producer. Hendry will discuss her interest in and approaches to sculpture within the public realm, as well as her recent outdoor commissions, upcoming projects, and current studio workings.  Born in 1990 in London, Hendry is a British artist whose site-responsive sculptures and installations are concerned with what lives beneath the surface, from hidden underground spaces to the interior workings of the body. Her sculptures look at the back of things: cross-sections and open cracks through which you see the gooey insides. Hendry addresses ideas of permeability and morbidity through a visual language charged with cartoonish wit. Her works deal with the internal and the external in terms of the body, display, and production, revealing what would otherwise be hidden. Casting is central to Hendry’s process, in which she uses an array of materials, including charcoal, foam, grit, lipstick, soap, steel, and Jesmonite (a composite material). REGISTER TODAY!
