The Frist Art Museum will hold a symposium to coincide with the major exhibition Chaos and Awe: Painting for the 21st Century. During this all-day event, artists Ghada Amer, Ali Banisadr, and Matthew Ritchie (an essayist for the catalogue as well as a participating artist) will discuss their work and the larger themes of the exhibition. Catalogue contributor Media Farzin, a faculty member at the School of Visual Arts and Sotheby's Institute of Art, New York, will add her thoughts on contemporary history paintings on view in the exhibition. Frist Art Museum chief curator Mark Scala will moderate the sessions.
