Andrea Fraser in Conversation
This program takes place at Yale School of Art, 32 Edgewood Gallery.
Since the mid-1980s, Andrea Fraser, the 2025 Happy and Bob Doran Artist in Residence, Yale University Art Gallery, has worked in the realm of institutional critique, investigating and revealing the ways in which organizations, groups, and individuals hold and wield power. Frequently challenging the biases of arts institutions, her videos, performances, and texts deftly combine careful research with incisive, often humorous, delivery. Based on transcripts of discussions that Fraser organized in 2020, This meeting is being recorded (2021) brings these approaches to bear on the complex subjects of white women, identity, and the fraught ground of reckoning with internalized beliefs.
Visitors are invited to attend screenings of the video on March 25 and 26, in advance of this conversation between Fraser and Margaret Ewing, the Horace W. Goldsmith Assistant Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art.
Cosponsored by the Gallery’s Happy and Bob Doran Artist-in-Residence Fund and the Yale School of Art.
