This two-day event brings together many of the artist exhibiting in 3-D Doings: The Imagist Object in Chicago Art, 1964-1980, the first in-depth exploration of the overall affinity of Imagist artists for objects. Through a dialogue, a gallery talk, and a panel discussion, the artists engage in conversation with one another and with audience members to create oral histories about their work and Chicago in the 1960s and ’70s.
