Look, Don't Touch: How Aspen Defies what We’ve Come to Expect as the "Art Experience"

Robert F. Reiff Curatorial Intern Madison Hampton ‘18 gives a public talk as part of the series Off the Wall: Informal Discussions about Art. We have grown to accept art as something framed and subsequently hung on the pristine white walls of museums and galleries; but Aspen, as a boxed publication printed in 1967, forces us to question not only how we define art, but also how we interact with it. Enjoy further conversation over a light lunch in the lobby. Sponsored by the Middlebury College Museum of Art and the Committee on the Arts. Lunch is provided. $5 donation suggested; free to College ID cardholders
