Allen Frame will discuss new work, including three pieces incorporating found photographs, drawings, and texts. The projects focus on: a young Russian high school teacher of history is fired in Moscow for posting on Facebook that he’s gay; a Polish émigré artist and an American psychoanalyst create their own family and acceptance among their circle of gay friends in New York; and a connection is made between a brother, sister, and lover in 1860s Mississippi and a similar threesome in Fascist wartime Italy.

Allen Frame is the Abigail Cohen Rome Prize Fellow in Visual Arts at the American Academy in Rome and an adjunct professor in the Department of Fine Arts at Pratt Institute.

The event will be held in English.
