My Turn: Spencer Finch
My Turn expands the definition of a museum program by inviting a guest artist to interpret another artist’s work. This unique public program series, held in conjunction with the exhibitions Georgia O’Keeffe: Abstraction and Roni Horn aka Roni Horn, was organized by artist Spencer Finch. Taking the works on view as a point of departure, Finch explored key themes that ran through both exhibitions. Back to My Turn
