Target First Saturdays for Families: Double Album

Part of Target First Saturdays for Families
 
Family Programs

10AM - 12PM

The playful sculptures, installations, and drawings of artists Daniel Guzmán (born 1964, lives and works in Mexico City, Mexico) and Steven Shearer (born 1968, lives and works in Vancouver, BC, Canada) are brought together in the New Museum exhibition “Double Album: Daniel Guzmán and Steven Shearer.” Both artists work in a variety of mediums and address issues of male identity, adolescence, and rock culture. Participate in a guided conversation about the exhibition and then collaborate with your family to create sculptures that reflect your own identity and icons of your generation.

Children under 18 are always admitted free. No pre-registration is required. Tickets are given out on a first-come, first-served basis.
