Events Description
Discover the ideas behind ‘Michael Massie | now and then’ in a special curator-led tour with exhibition guest curator Alysa Procida. Through an engaging, in-depth discussion, Alysa will explore the exhibition’s curatorial vision and the creative evolution of Michael Massie’s remarkable practice.
Spanning the breadth of Massie’s career, ‘Michael Massie | now and then’ brings together an extraordinary collection of works, including his celebrated teapots, previously unexhibited pieces, and a striking new series of large-scale sculptural installations. This tour offers a unique opportunity to gain deeper insight into the stories, themes, and artistic vision that shape one of the exhibition’s most compelling contemporary voices.
