John Baldessari: The End of the Line

John Baldessari’s experiments with images, language and visual humor are the focus of a catalog discussion led by curators José Carlos Díaz and Karen Grimson. The free Miami Book Fair program takes place Saturday, November 21 in the Freedom Tower’s Knight Skylight Gallery in Downtown Miami. The publication accompanies John Baldessari: The End of the Line, currently on view at Pérez Art Museum Miami.

Published in English and Spanish, the catalog brings together essays by Díaz, Grimson, Craig Robins, Analia Saban, Alejandro Cesarco, David Lamelas and Dorit Cypis. The speakers will discuss its organization, the research behind it and how the book develops the exhibition’s interpretation of Baldessari’s work for readers in both languages.

Díaz is PAMM’s chief curator, while Grimson curated the exhibition, which spans five decades of the conceptual artist’s practice and draws largely from the Craig Robins Collection. Attendees will receive complimentary admission to PAMM to view the exhibition following the conversation.
