Today at 2 p.m. at the MAG, Amy Gendrou presents a What's Up Lecture titled Gravity and Levity on "works in the MAG collection by Christian Boltanski and Tom Otterness."

Boltanski's use of ordinary photographs, lightbulbs and everyday objects elevates his collections of random things to the status of the 'monument,' evoking themes of loss, death, gravity, sentimentality and memory. In contrast, Otterness's public sculptures are playful, inviting and light. They provoke involuntary smiles and often result in games of hide and seek!
