Clark-Getty Paper Project Curatorial Fellow Sarah Grandin presents an overview of Promenades on Paper: Eighteenth-Century Drawings from the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Grandin shares the rich history of the national library of France’s collections, and how that shaped the selection of works included in the Clark’s exhibition. The drawings on view reveal the medium’s new status as an autonomous and democratic instrument of creation and documentation in France in the eighteenth century.

WCMA – Women Shaping Space Keynote with Heather Hart

Heather Hart states: "I’m interested in how we inhabit the world. I’m interested in how we take up space. Audacity. How we feel entitled to it. How that space affects us, effects our navigation, and the way we move through our lives, and how it influences our identity, our sense of self, our interactions with others, or vision of our future. Who is the author of these spaces, might the author change? What is my territory? What is yours? Do they overlap?"
