Theodore A. Harris: Conscientious Objector to Formalism

Theodore Harris’ series, Conscientious Objector to Formalism, remixes old master painting with searing quips that question the lasting legacy of modernist formalism. At this artist’s talk, Harris will discuss his process, touching on issues of digital production, and appropriation in contemporary art, as well as the political, theoretical and historical underpinning of his work.

Harris will be join in discussion with artist Najja Keita.

Prints from the series will be on view at the Paley LIbrary.

Mr. Harris is a resident of Germantown in northwest Philadelphia.
