 As part of the 2009-10 Mary Atkins Series, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art hosts New York-based art critic and independent curator Gregory Volk for a conversation with three Charlotte Street Visual Artist Award recipients. Volk will kick off the evening with an introductory presentation featuring images of the work of David Ford, Elijah Gowin and Peregrine Honig, and a discussion of general themes and personal observations relative to their work. This will set the stage for a lively discussion with the artists about their work, practices, and experiences as artists based in Kansas City while frequently working and exhibiting elsewhere.
