The artist Jill Magid will be in conversation with Nicholas Fox Weber, writer and director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, about her current exhibition at Dia Bridgehampton. The display features the series Homage CMYK (2019): eleven screenprints on linen that take two unlicensed works by Josef Albers as the departure point for a prismatic investigation of authorship.
