Montclair Art Museum Reimagines Objects with Ongoing Exhibition

We continue our week-long look at the Montclair Art Museum’s offerings this fall. Today we speak talk about the exhibition, Transformed: Objects Reimagined by American Artists, which has been up for a while, but the pieces are always evolving. It's inspired by a 1964 Jasper Johns quote: “Take an object. Do something to it. Do something else to it.” The show features sixty works, Gail Stavitsky, chief curator of The Montclair Art Museum, joins to discuss.

Om Podcasten

ALL OF IT is a show about culture and its consumers. ALL OF IT is a show about culture and context. ALL OF IT is a show about culture and the culture. Our aim is to engage the thinkers, doers, makers, and creators, about the what and why of their work. People make the culture and we hope, need, and want the WNYC community to be a part of our show. As we build a community around ALL OF IT, we know that every guest and listener has an opinion. We won’t always agree, but our varied perspectives and diversity of experience is what makes New York City great. ALL OF IT will be both companion for and curator of the myriad culture this city has to offer. In the words of Cristina De Rossi, anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College, London: "Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and a million other things." ...In other words, ALL OF IT. --- Join us for ALL OF IT with Alison Stewart, weekdays from 12:00 - 2:00PM on WNYC.
