Join us for a special evening celebrating the release of I Don’t Think About Being Great (Yale University Press, 2024), a new book of writings by the artist Robert Rauschenberg. While he was acclaimed for his diverse, six-decade career as an artist, his written work is less known and is published here for the first time.
The program will be moderated by editor Francine Snyder, Director of Archives at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, and feature artists Scott Bluedorn and Evan Yee – Student Art Festival: Rauschenberg 100artists and alumni from the Rauschenberg Residency on Captiva -, who will share reflections on their time in residency and the ways in which Rauschenberg’s spirit of experimentation continues to inspire their work.
Presented in honor of the Rauschenberg Centennial and in conjunction with Guild Hall’s Student Art Festival: Rauschenberg 100, the evening celebrates Rauschenberg’s legacy as an artist, collaborator, and catalyst for creativity across generations.
Copies of I Don’t Think About Being Great are available for purchase during the reservation checkout process or on the day of the program, subject to availability.
