Art Talk Tuesday is a monthly conversation that invites contemporary artists to discuss their work and the issues surrounding it. This month features conceptual artist Charles Gaines.

Art Talk Tuesday is a monthly conversation that invites contemporary artists to discuss their work and the issues surrounding it, followed by a moderated Q&A with Brand staff member, artist and writer Jennifer Remenchik. Art Talk Tuesday artists are selected to reflect the diversity of the art scene of the greater Los Angeles area.

Charles Gaines (b. 1944, Charleston, South Carolina) engages formulas and systems that interrogate relationships between the objective and subjective realms. Working in a variety of mediums, Gaines has been the subject of numerous exhibitions in the U.S. and around the world, most notably at Dia Beacon, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami. He lives and works in Los Angeles.

Art Talk Tuesday is sponsored by the Brand Associates.
