Next up in the Santa Barbara Museum of Art’s (SBMA) Art Matters Lecture Series is Joan Miró in Time and Space, 5:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 4 in the museum’s Mary Craig Auditorium, 1130 State St.
The talk will be given by Charles Palermo, professor of art history at The College of William and Mary. Palermo will review works — paintings, objects, sculptures — by the great Catalan artist Joan Miró.
Palermo offers readings of works in the hope of showing how Miró implies movement and scale in his works. The result is fictional worlds with their own sense of time and place, which nevertheless stand right before us.
The program is free for students and Museum Circle members, $10 for SBMA members, and $15 for non-members. Tickets available at tickets.sbma.net.
The event is in person. Visitors who plan to attend an event in SBMA’s Mary Craig Auditorium must show proof of being fully vaccinated with a booster (if eligible), or, in some cases, supply a negative COVID-19 medical test result (taken within 72 hours prior to each event), along with an official photo ID, before entering the venue.
All visitors must also follow SBMA’s mask policy and wear a mask while attending events in Mary Craig Auditorium.
