In her lecture, Margaret Honda elucidates the significant role of the late Jack Brogan as a fabricator who collaborated with key figures in the history of Minimal, Postminimal, and Conceptual art, including Dia collection artists Larry Bell and Robert Irwin, as well as Michael Asher, Lynda Benglis, John Knight, and John McCracken, among many others. Shedding light on Brogan’s practice and the ways it has influenced her own artistic development, Honda demystifies the invisible labor and histories within art production since the 1960s.

Margaret Honda was born in San Diego, California, in 1961. She works primarily in sculpture and film, with a focus on the malleability of materials and production protocols. Her work has been exhibited internationally at venues such as the Art Institute of Chicago; Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; and KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin. Her films have been shown at Anthology Film Archives, New York; Berlinale, Berlin; and Centre Pompidou, Paris. She lives in Los Angeles.
