A presentation of examples of found object jewelry and adornments from a range of cultures and historical periods will offer context for the rest of the day’s discussions.
Participants will be invited to closely observe a selection of objects from the Museum of Russian Icon’s permanent collection and hear from registrar Laura on these objects relationship to larger themes of found, discarded, and recycled materials in art.
To complete the afternoon, the group will move into the West Gallery to view Konstantin Simun: The Sacred in the Profane, featuring sculptures by Russian born, Boston based artist Konstantin Simun whose found object works speak to this shifting materiality.
Throughout the day, participants can make written observations on the objects, ideas, themes, and information that resonate with them individually.
To close the afternoon, each participant will be invited to speak to the group about the connections and discoveries they have made while enjoying light refreshments in the auditorium.
