About the Series
This series is devoted to gallery audiences of different backgrounds and interests. Each dinner party—fusing participation and attention, contemplation and conversation—aims to illuminate the impact of uncompromising, unprecedented art.
In between curating the exhibitions at TMH, Marsha Plotnitsky writes essays on art—this is also an invitation to share the tools behind her thinking.
