LECTURE: MUSEUM MAGASIN 3
  John C. Welchman: “Mountains and the Marine: Visual Metaphor in the Work of Cosima von Bonin”

Thursday March 29, [removed]
At Magasin 3. Free entrance.
In English

During the fall 2011 and spring 2012 seasons, works from the Magasin 3 collection have been featured in the exhibition Museum Magasin 3 . To complement this we present a lecture on Cosima von Bonin’s artistry. Few artists have packed such an extraordinary range of both clear and covert references to art movements and other artists or to particular locations and intermittently specific objects into the sequencing of their works. Focusing on the “marine core” of Cosima von Bonin’s art this lecture will examine how metaphorical meanings are found, produced and relayed in the work of the artist. Read more >

John C. Welchman is Professor of art history in the Visual Arts department at the University of California, San Diego and co-director of the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts.
