Curator's Tour of Talking Continents

  • Jepson Center for the Arts 207 West York Street Savannah, GA, 31401 United States (map)

Join speaker Rachel Reese, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, for a tour of the exhibition Jaume Plensa: Talking Continents.

Jaume Plensa is one of the world’s foremost living sculptors. He is widely known for large-scale public artworks and more intimate and meditative installations that aim to unify people through connections of spirituality, the body, and shared memory. His work Talking Continents is a floating collection of 19 cloud-like, stainless steel sculptures. Their biomorphic forms are made of die-cut letters taken from nine different languages. Presented together, they refuse to come together as words, existing instead as abstract forms, arbitrary signs, and signifiers.

This tour is free to members or with museum admission. To register, please contact Calli Laundré at 912.790.8807 or laundrec@telfair.org.
