Everything but the kitchen sank is on display now through December 12 in the Diego Rivera Gallery and through October 3 in the Walter and McBean Galleries. This ambitious exhibition spans two gallery spaces — in the Diego Rivera Gallery, Pereda has erected Change the world or go home (2009-2015), a 24-foot tall fluorescent scaffolding structure in front of the iconic work The Making of a Fresco Showing the Building of a City (1931), simultaneously illuminating and obscuring one of the institution’s most-treasured and historically significant works. Join us Friday, September 11, to celebrate the final phase of this unprecedented exhibition with al fresco drinks and light snacks on the quad.
