SUMMARY:McFaddin-Ward House Lecture Series Presents “Mostly Texas: Robert Rauschenberg at 100” By Kristen Clevenson\, Assistant Curator\, Robert Rauschenberg Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Join the McFaddin-Ward House Museum for “Mostly Texas: Robert Rauschenberg at 100\,” a free public lecture presented by Kristen Clevenson on Thursday\, August 13\, at 6:30 p.m. in the Museum’s Visitor Center Lecture Hall (1906 Calder Avenue\, Beaumont). \nKristen Clevenson\, assistant curator at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation in New York City\, will explore the extraordinary life and legacy of Texas-born artist Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008)\, showcasing the innovative works of one of the most daring and impactful artists of the 20th century\, with special attention to his “mostly Texas” disposition. \nBorn in 1925 in Port Arthur\, Rauschenberg pushed the boundaries of what defines art for six decades\, working in a diverse range of mediums\, including painting\, sculpture\, photography\, printmaking\, and performance. Throughout his trailblazing career\, he highlighted his Texas roots in numerous artworks. In October 1993\, Rauschenberg signed a letter to then-Governor of Texas\, Ann Richards\, “Love from me in Florida + mostly Texas\,” underscoring his affinity for the Lone Star State. \nClevenson has served as assistant curator at the New York-based Robert Rauschenberg Foundation since 2019. She recently curated Robert Rauschenberg: Signs and Signals (1964–94) at the Foundation\, and her research has been published by Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery. \nIn 2022\, Clevenson received her master’s degree in art history from Hunter College\, City University of New York. She also holds a B.A. from the University of Virginia. \nIn conjunction with the lecture\, the McFaddin-Ward House would like to invite a limit of 30 guests to a free guided tour of the Robert Rauschenberg exhibit at the Museum of the Gulf Coast on Friday\, August 14 at 10 a.m. Reservations are recommended to hold your place. Walk-ins will be accommodated until the allotted slots are filled. To register\, please click HERE. Or you can call the McFaddin-Ward Visitor Center at 409-832-2134. The tour is open to all ages (three and under do not need to register) and will last approximately 1.5 hours. \nMcFaddin-Ward House Museum lectures are admission-free and open to the public\, but space is limited.
