SUMMARY:Author Talk: "Get the Picture" with Bianca Bosker
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an enlightening author talk and book signing at Del Ray Artisans gallery\, featuring Bianca Bosker. In Get the Picture\, Bosker immerses herself in the nerve center of art and the people who live for it: gallerists\, collectors\, curators\, and\, of course\, artists themselves—the kind who work multiple jobs to afford their studios while scrabbling to get eyes on their art. Bosker stretches canvases until her fingers blister\, talks her way into A-list parties for billionaire collectors\, sells art as a gallerist\, and has her face sat on by a nearly-naked performance artist. As a museum security guard\, she forces herself to stare at a single sculpture for hours on end. Bosker discovers not only the inner workings of the art machine but also a more expansive way of living. Probing everything from cave paintings to Instagram\, from the science of sight to the importance of beauty\, Get the Picture examines art’s role in our culture\, our economy\, and our hearts. \nPlease register in advance through the Alexandria Library website. This event is organized by the Friends of the Duncan Library\, a neighbor volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit. \nRegister Now
