The "Icebreaker" Welcome Party
Following the Convocation at the Hilton Hotel, the conference Welcome Party -- the "Icebreaker" -- will be held at Walker Art Center, one of the most exciting contemporary visual, performing, and media arts venues in the United States. Mix and mingle throughout the Walker's galleries and bookshop, while enjoying heavy hors d'oeuvres, a dessert bar, one free drink ticket, plus a cash bar.
Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy current exhibits including "Sol LeWitt: 2D+3D", showcasing a range of artwork from his drawings and prints to sculptures, maquettes, and wall drawings, among other items, and "50/50: Audience and Experts Curate the Paper Collection", featuring some 200 works hung salon-style and addressing the dynamics between "audience" and "expert", curatorial practice and so-called "mass taste".
Free shuttle provided from the hotel to the Walker Art Center and back. Please see our Conference Blog for specific information regarding transportation arrangements.
