University of Chicago students are invited to join Jennifer Carty, Associate Curator of Modern & Contemporary Art, for a virtual private tour of Claudia Wieser: Generations.

Drawing upon the history of art, design and architecture—from the democratic stage of ancient Roman forums to the esoteric principles of Bauhaus craftsmanship—Wieser’s practice carefully stitches together a constellation of elements. Generations features hand-painted and patterned ceramics, carved wooden sculptures, tiled mirrored works, colored pencil and gold leaf drawings, and a new site-specific wallpaper spliced together from imagery of historic sculpture and architecture as well as images from popular culture and found photographs.
