As part of the Modern’s Exhibition Lecture Series, guest curator Christopher Blay will speak on the special exhibition David-Jeremiah: The Fire This Time, on view August 16–November 2. Blay will delve into the foundations of David-Jeremiah’s practice, with a focus on the powerful motif of fire as both subject and method. Offering an in-depth look at the philosophical and formal strategies behind the exhibition, Blay will situate the work within broader currents of Conceptualism and explore the artist’s use of scale, ritual, and conceptual rigor to transform the language of contemporary painting and redefine the boundaries of self-reflective artmaking.
