Brigitte Caland & Aram Moshayedi on Huguette Caland

Being somebody's daughter and being the person who explains them to the world are two different jobs, and doing both at once in public is a peculiar thing to watch. Huguette Caland left Beirut and a political family behind to make some of the most frankly physical painting of the last century - bodies rendered as landscape, erotic and funny and completely unbothered - and spent decades being undervalued for it. Her daughter Brigitte has spent years since making sure that stopped, and she is sitting down with an independent curator to talk about the work and the person at the same time. This is the kind of evening a museum does when it is not trying to fill seats: no ticket, no pitch, a room of maybe a hundred people who came because they actually wanted to hear it. Free, and free means the crowd skews younger and stranger than a paid lecture would. Wednesday September 30 at 7:30pm in Westwood.
