Members Art History Lecture Series: Curator's Choice in conversation with Catharina Manchanda Victoria Haven: Portable Monuments December 12, 2012 7–8:30 pm Plestcheeff Auditorium

This year's Members Art History Lecture series covers a rich spectrum of engaging topics. Join us as SAM’s outstanding curators explore thought-provoking topics within their areas of SAM’s permanent collection.

Catharina Manchanda, the Jon and Mary Shirley Curator of Modern & Contemporary Art, and artist Victoria Haven will discuss ideas relating to the works presented in Haven's installation in the exhibition Elles: SAM—Singular Works from Seminal Women Artists at the Seattle Art Museum. Haven utilizes ephemeral objects of personal significance—such as a list of songs from a long-lost mixed tape—that have undergone a series of permutations. In each of her works the artist maps her experience and memory to a larger artistic and cultural history that remains grounded in the location of the Pacific Northwest.
