DIALOGUE
GALLERY TOUR: DUKE COUPLES IN DIALOGUE ON RAUSCHENBERG AND ARTISTS IN THE COLLECTION / Thursday, November 6, 6 PM / Join two scholarly Duke couples on a casual, personal and fun tour of Rauschenberg: Collecting & Connecting. Curator Kristine Stiles asked each couple to select works of art in the exhibition and think about them as “conversations” with an enormous range of interpretation. Couples are Adrian Bejan, Duke’s J.A. Jones Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and Mary Riordan Bejan, a Ph.D. in business and finance, along with Pamela Kachurin, Visiting Assistant Professor of Slavic and Eurasian at Duke, and Erik Zitser, Duke’s Librarian for Slavic and Eastern European Studies. Tours last about 45 minutes.
