Join us for a panel discussion where we’ll explore the materiality of art—the weight, texture and presence of stone, pigment and other physical matter in an increasingly digital world. How does the feel of a chisel, brushstroke or page carry meaning, and how can the material express the ineffable?

Author and artist Richard Rhodes, whose book Stone traces humanity’s deep relationship with this primal material; local writer and cultural force Bob Devin Jones; Kim Macuare, Director of Education and Co-Director of The Dalí Museum’s Innovation Labs; and The Dalí Museum Executive Director Hank Hine will lead a curated dialogue bridging craft, history, literature and philosophy. Together, they’ll ask: How does the stuff of art shape its story — and our own?

Tombolo Books will be on site with a limited number of copies of Stone: Ancient Craft to Modern Mastery. Attendees are encouraged to preorder Stone to guarantee their copy that evening.

Location: The Dalí Museum’s Will Raymund Theater
