    Meet the Curator of A.K. Burns: What is Perverse is Liquid

    Join us for an engaging conversation with Senior Curator Nina Bozicnik and explore A.K. Burns’s latest exhibition, What is Perverse is Liquid. Learn more about the intersections of landscapes, human bodies, and water across the exhibition, which includes a diverse range of wall works, sculptures, and immersive video installations. Bozicnik will lead a guided tour through the exhibition, exploring themes of transformation, collectivity, and relationality, with time for questions and conversation.
