Official Newark Museum - Symposium roundtable discussion - Part 1

Dialogues in South and North American Abstraction:
On April 10, 2010, the Newark Museum and the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros presented Dialogues in South and North American Abstraction, a symposium that explored the conceptual and aesthetic parallels that linked artists across the Americas during the first half of the twentieth century.

The panelists, a distinguished group of both emerging and established scholars, explored a diversity of issues as seen in the work of individual artists. These include John Ferren, Juan Melé, Charles Biederman, Alexander Calder, Carlos Raúl Villanueva, Josef Albers, and Lygia Pape. The symposium was organized in conjunction with the Newark Museum's major traveling exhibition Constructive Spirit: Abstract Art in South and North America, 1920s--50s.
