Curator Tour: "Art in Louisiana"

The LSU Museum of Art's permanent collection is vast, totaling over 6,500 items. Should you need a guide through this Cave of Wonders, let curator Courtney Taylor lead the way, making the quite broad category of "Art in Louisiana" into a comprehensive, effective journey. Taylor's tour will place particular focus on contemporary artist Carrie Mae Weems' works within the collection and how their critical eye toward the past provokes a viewer toward recognition of identity, race, and class tensions within historical art.

More of Weems' work is currently on view in Carrie Mae Weems: The Usual Suspects—until October 14. Taylor's tour runs from 2 pm–3 pm. Free. lsumoa.org.
