KAWS will reflect on both the impact these works have had on his creative practice and his favorite pieces from the Museum\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n KAWS<\/strong> engages audiences beyond the museums and galleries in which he regularly exhibits. His prolific body of work straddles the worlds of art and design to include paintings, murals, graphic and product design, street art, and large-scale sculptures. Over the last two decades KAWS has built a successful career with work that consistently shows his formal agility as an artist, as well as his underlying wit, irreverence, and affection for our times. His refined graphic language revitalizes figuration with both big, bold gestures and playful intricacies.<\/p>\n Val\u00e9rie Rousseau<\/strong> is Curatorial Chair for Exhibitions and Senior Curator of Self-Taught Art and Art Brut at the American Folk Art Museum. Since 2013, she has curated exhibitions on artists from various countries, including the AAMC\u2019s award-winning When the Curtain Never Comes Down<\/em> on performance art (2015), Art Brut in America: The Incursion of Jean Dubuffet<\/em> (2015), and shows on Paa Joe (2019), William Van Genk (2014), Bill Traylor (2013), art brut photography (2019, 2021), and self-taught literature (2018). Rousseau holds a Ph.D. in art history from Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al and an MA in anthropology from \u00c9cole des Hautes \u00c9tudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris. She has authored various essays on arts emerging outside the art mainstream, from an international perspective, notably \u201cVisionary Architectures\u201d (The Alternative Guide to the Universe<\/em>, Hayward Gallery, 2013), \u201cRevealing Art Brut\u201d (Culture & Mus\u00e9es<\/em>, 2010), and Vestiges de l\u2019indiscipline<\/em> (Canadian Museum of Civilization, 2007).<\/p>\n Space is limited; advance registration is required.

As weather patterns become increasingly erratic and extreme due to climate change, they become ever more challenging to prepare for and predict.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This interdisciplinary conversation, inspired by the current exhibition American Weathervanes<\/em>, brings together scholars, artists, activists, and a policymaker for an intersectional dialogue around art and environmentalism. Through the varied lenses of those who study, depict, and work with nature, this conversation will explore relationships to the past and present of the land. The speakers will consider the implications of global environmental crises, strategies for sustainability, and visions for the future. Cultural producer Prerana Reddy will moderate.<\/span><\/p>\n Space is limited; advance registration is required.
