  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.
  • The Impressionists

The presentations are around 35-45 minutes long with time left over for a Q&A. Check out the program descriptions and REGISTER NOW! This is a global program—and the times noted are EDT (New York time) and GMT

First up will be Reincarnations: Finding the Past in the Present – Artists of the Modern Era were all influenced by the masterworks of earlier traditions—even those artists they were trying so hard to challenge. In this program, we’ll examine the relationships between some of the greatest Modernists and the extraordinary Old Masters—as well as the influence of Ancient Greco-Roman Art and Medieval Art on Modern Art. Such artists as Picasso, Matisse, Rivera, Klee, Kirchner, Arp and others will be explored, to identify precisely how and why the past influenced (and continues to influence) the present and future.

The date for this event is Wednesday, 3 June – 10:00am EDT – 14:00 (2:00pm) GMT.
