Conversation 1/3 of a lunchtime talk series by Alicia Longwell on Jasper Johns

In a series of three informal lunchtime talks in conjunction with the exhibition, An Art of Changes: Jasper Johns Prints, 1960–2018, Alicia G. Longwell, Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator will discuss Jasper Johns and three common themes explored by the artist throughout his career.
During the 1960s, Johns experimented with unusual tools for making marks on his canvases and drawings. They included his own body, which he used to make imprints—a more direct way of adding his “touch” to an artwork than traditional means such as brush or pencil. The unusual self-portrait Skin with O’Hara Poem is a literal impression of the artist, rather than a painted likeness.
Guests are invited to preorder lunch through the Café at the Parrish and enjoy it in the Theater. Special Offer: Receive a free regular coffee with any Café purchase or receive a free bag of chips with the purchase of a salad or sandwich. Outside food is not permitted in the Museum.

Decoy
1972, 18 minutes
Director: Michael Blackwood
Shown in conjunction with the current exhibition An Art of Changes: Jasper Johns Prints, 1960 – 2018, this short documentary explores how Jasper Johns created Decoy—a series of paintings and prints, one of which is featured in this exhibition—and how it is rooted inside the notions of reproduction, transformation, and memory.
Believing that an image gains new meaning each time it is presented, Johns boldly confronts his own past work, most notably Ale Cans (1964), and uses Decoy as a method of metamorphosis. The repetition of certain motifs allows Johns to confront the change an image goes through when approached from a different angle or placed in a new artistic context. As he notes in the film, “each time a motif is used and reused additional memories accrue, new layers of meaning, and the image itself begins to acquire its own history.” It is through Johns’s reimagining that the items he features in his work take on new life and grow from object to art, thus redirecting society’s interpretation.
Discussion to follow with Alicia G. Longwell, Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator, Art and Education and Lorena Salcedo-Watson, Artist, Master Printer, Lecturer and Undergraduate Director, Stony Brook University in the Lichtenstein Theater.
