MAM Conversations: Vik Muniz

Spend the evening with MAM Conversations as we visit artist Vik Muniz in his studio. Blurring the lines of “fine” art, Muniz is known for his recreations of classic artworks works using everyday materials from chocolate and sugar to junk and toys, which he then photographs. His layered, intricate works transform the mundane and comment on economic inequality, the art historical canon, and popular culture.  We’ll talk with Vik about Doubting Thomas (2000) and The Stone Breakers, after Gustave Courbet (Pictures of Magazines 2) (2013), two photographs in museum’s collection, as well as new work.

MAM Conversations presented by the Babson Lecture Series will take place on Thursdays at 6 p.m. from June 11 through August 28 via Zoom Webinars. Closed captioning is provided. For more information, contact Alison Van Denend, Assistant Curator, at [email protected]
