In this Smart series, University of Chicago faculty and their invited guests host intimate, in-gallery conversations about an artwork on view in a current exhibition. These dialogues spark connections across disciplines, and conclude with an opportunity for attendees to join the discussion.

Art History professor Wei-Cheng Lin and artist Xuanlin Ye discuss Zhan’s Ornamental Rock, on view in Beyond Boundaries: Three Decades of Contemporary Chinese Art at the Smart.

Free; drop-in program. Hosted in the east gallery within the exhibition Beyond Boundaries.
