About this Event

Join MIT List Visual Arts Center for a screening of the upcoming season of Art 21 followed by a closing conversation with featured artist, Josephine Halvorson.

In celebration of Art21’s newest book, , this season of Screening Society provides a selection of films featuring artists who explore how we use randomness, mystery, and unknowability to try to answer some of life’s biggest questions. The following artists will be featured: Linda Goode Bryant, Sarah Sze, Rose B. Simpson, Josephine Halvorson, and Michael Rakowitz. Upon the conclusion of the film, featured artist Josephine Halvorson will share how her work has evolved from the time of filming until today. Please join early for a pizza dinner.


Speaker Bio

Josephine Halvorson (she/her) makes art from direct observation, foregrounding the firsthand experience of noticing, describing, and learning from the physical world. She works primarily in painting, but also in sculpture and printmaking. Halvorson received her MFA from Columbia University in 2007, her BFA from The Cooper Union in 2003, and attended Yale Norfolk in 2002.

Halvorson’s work is represented by Sikkema Malloy Jenkins, NY, and Peter Freeman, Paris. She has presented work internationally at such institutions as the Storm King Art Center, the ICA Boston, and the Havana Biennale. In 2021 she presented a solo exhibition of site responsive work at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, NM, where she was the Museum’s first artist in residence. In 2024 she presented a solo exhibition at James Fuentes, Los Angeles, accompanied by a paperback monograph.

Since 2016, Halvorson is Professor of Art and Chair of Graduate Studies in Painting at Boston University. She has also taught at The Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture, The Cooper Union, Princeton University, the University of Tennessee Knoxville, Columbia University, and Yale University.

This film screening is in conjunction with Art 21s Screening Society and has an approximate run time of 60 minutes.
