OY/YO: A Conversation With Deborah Kass and Thom Collins
About the Event
Yo! After several months and thousands of selfies since the installation of the monumental "OY/YO" sculpture at The Weitzman, we are excited to welcome the artist and creator back to the Museum for a special program.
Brooklyn-based artist Deborah Kass will sit down with her friend Thom Collins, Neubauer Family Executive Director and President of the Barnes Foundation, in the Weitzman's Dell Theatre. Kass and Collins will discuss the roles of art on the streets, in civic life, and protest- here in Philadelphia and beyond. The duo will also explore how "OY/YO" and other modern works of art reflect on the values of specific cultures within American society's larger landscape and the forces that divide and unite our community.
