Our Venice gallery is pleased to welcome you on 18 September at 6pm for the talk entitled: Judy Chicago’s ‘The Dinner Party’: The Making Of. It will unfold as a conversation between Diane Gelon, who worked on 'The Dinner Party' and helped to organize its worldwide, grass roots tour, and Francesco Spampinato, Director of the Second Cycle Degree in Visual Arts at Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna.
_
Set in the context of the current Venice exhibition 'The Materiality of Judy Chicago', the talk will focus on the making of 'The Dinner Party', Judy Chicago’s most famous work. The conversation will look at the collective and non-hierarchical approach to production that characterised it, tracing its exhibition history and circulation from the 1970s through the 1990s, until its final acquisition by the Elizabeth A. Sackler, who donated it to the Brooklyn Museum in 2002.

The talk will be held in English.
