Please join members and friends of the List Center for a preview of our 32nd List Projects exhibition, featuring the work of Elif Saydam.

Join the exhibition curators for a behind the scenes tour and conversation with the artist. 

Berlin-based artist Elif Saydam conceives of painting as a space for the projection of fantasy. Throughout history, many painting traditions have served the fantasies of a state or an imperial court, but Saydam’s approach emphasizes eros in the textures of everyday life.

The List Center encourages attendees to take public transit, bike or walk to the event. To RSVP, please email listcomms [at] mit.edu (listcomms[at]mit[dot]edu).
