Recent Learning Events in the Exhibition: ‘Christina Quarles. In 24 Days tha Sun’ll Set at 7pm’
Celebrating ‘Christina Quarles. In 24 Days tha Sun’ll set at 7pm,’ led to the first Learning activity held at our Chelsea location in partnership with the organization, Wide Rainbow, a NYC based organization that works to expand access to art education by connecting children from under-resourced neighborhoods with contemporary artists. Lower East Side children from The Sixth Street Community Center attended a walkthrough of, ‘Christina Quarles. In 24 Days tha Sun’ll set at 7pm,’ where they had the opportunity to engage with and learn about the exhibition.

Hunter MFA/BFA students attend a Life Drawing class held in response to ‘Christina Quarles. In 24 Days tha Sun’ll set at 7pm’, Hauser & Wirth New York, 2022
Additionally, a Life Drawing event was also held at the gallery. Led by artist and adjunct Hunter professor, Tony Bluestone, twenty-nine Hunter MFA/BFA participated in a 2-hour long session alongside the model, Fatima Turay. Throughout the session, Fatima moved off the platform and posed by the paintings, which allowed for different lighting and a deeper discussion around each painting’s composition. The event presented an alternative framework for viewing art and demonstrated a new perspective for how people can engage with our shows in the future.
