Each session explores the art historical and cultural contexts of artists currently on view at The Aldrich\, blending storytelling\, close looking\, and discussion to help participants uncover new ways of seeing contemporary art. No prior experience with art history is required\, only curiosity and a willingness to dive in. \n“Getting” Contemporary Art is led by Kristen Erickson\, art history teacher and Director of the Luchsinger Gallery at Greenwich Academy. \nAttend all three classes or a single class! \nClasses \nTuesday\, November 4 – Nickola Pottinger: Jamaica\, Memory\, and Folklore \nThis class delves into the history and folklore of Jamaica to better understand Nickola Pottinger’s shape-shifting sculptures. Through a gallery walk\, participants will examine the mix of spiritual and personal symbols in her works\, which include casts of her own body and family heirlooms. Group discussion will encourage participants to uncover the layers of meaning carried by these spectral figures\, which merge ancestral traditions with contemporary stories. \nTuesday\, November 11 – Zak Prekop: Music in Abstraction \nHave you heard of Song Exploder\, the podcast where musicians take apart their songs piece by piece? In this class\, participants will “explode” the vibrant abstract paintings of Zak Prekop. The session will focus on how he creates a sense of movement and stillness through color relationships\, while also considering art historical precedents such as the “action painting” of the 1950s. Participants will further explore Prekop’s musical influences and how rhythm and harmony appear in his painting practice. \nTuesday\, November 18 – Uman: Textiles\, Calligraphy\, and Transformation \nUman’s kaleidoscopic paintings reflect the story of her extraordinary life. She grew up in Somalia and Kenya\, spent her teen years in Denmark\, and traveled to Vienna and Paris before moving to New York where her artistic vision blossomed. This class will introduce participants to the art histories that shaped her\, including East African textiles\, Arabic calligraphy\, and the work of Gustav Klimt and Sam Gilliam. During a gallery walk\, participants will consider how Uman captures her memories\, dreams\, and personal transformation in visionary paintings that celebrate survival and creativity. \nInstructor Bio \nKristen Erickson has been teaching art history and curating exhibitions for the past three decades. She spent eight years working in the curatorial field at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford\, the Smith College Museum of Art\, and the Museum of Modern Art before turning to teaching. Kristen currently teaches art history at Greenwich Academy\, where she also runs the campus art gallery. She holds degrees in French and art history from Vassar College and Oxford University.

Offering a historical foundation for understanding today’s controversies\, the exhibition features fragments of a statue of King George III torn down by American Revolutionaries\, a souvenir replica of a bulldozed monument by Harlem Renaissance sculptor Augusta Savage\, and a maquette of New York City’s first public monument to a Black woman\, Harriet Tubman\, among other objects from The New York Historical’s collection. The exhibition reveals how monument-making and monument-breaking have long shaped American life as public statues have been celebrated\, attacked\, protested\, altered\, and removed.

Each session explores the art historical and cultural contexts of artists currently on view at The Aldrich\, blending storytelling\, close looking\, and discussion to help participants uncover new ways of seeing contemporary art. No prior experience with art history is required\, only curiosity and a willingness to dive in. \n“Getting” Contemporary Art is led by Kristen Erickson\, art history teacher and Director of the Luchsinger Gallery at Greenwich Academy. \nAttend all three classes or a single class! \nClasses \nTuesday\, November 4 – Nickola Pottinger: Jamaica\, Memory\, and Folklore \nThis class delves into the history and folklore of Jamaica to better understand Nickola Pottinger’s shape-shifting sculptures. Through a gallery walk\, participants will examine the mix of spiritual and personal symbols in her works\, which include casts of her own body and family heirlooms. Group discussion will encourage participants to uncover the layers of meaning carried by these spectral figures\, which merge ancestral traditions with contemporary stories. \nTuesday\, November 11 – Zak Prekop: Music in Abstraction \nHave you heard of Song Exploder\, the podcast where musicians take apart their songs piece by piece? In this class\, participants will “explode” the vibrant abstract paintings of Zak Prekop. The session will focus on how he creates a sense of movement and stillness through color relationships\, while also considering art historical precedents such as the “action painting” of the 1950s. Participants will further explore Prekop’s musical influences and how rhythm and harmony appear in his painting practice. \nTuesday\, November 18 – Uman: Textiles\, Calligraphy\, and Transformation \nUman’s kaleidoscopic paintings reflect the story of her extraordinary life. She grew up in Somalia and Kenya\, spent her teen years in Denmark\, and traveled to Vienna and Paris before moving to New York where her artistic vision blossomed. This class will introduce participants to the art histories that shaped her\, including East African textiles\, Arabic calligraphy\, and the work of Gustav Klimt and Sam Gilliam. During a gallery walk\, participants will consider how Uman captures her memories\, dreams\, and personal transformation in visionary paintings that celebrate survival and creativity. \nInstructor Bio \nKristen Erickson has been teaching art history and curating exhibitions for the past three decades. She spent eight years working in the curatorial field at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford\, the Smith College Museum of Art\, and the Museum of Modern Art before turning to teaching. Kristen currently teaches art history at Greenwich Academy\, where she also runs the campus art gallery. She holds degrees in French and art history from Vassar College and Oxford University. A resident of Ridgefield\, Kristen loves making contemporary art come alive for new audiences.

Drawing from the techniques and approaches she uses in her own practice\, and highlighted in her current exhibition fos born at The Aldrich\, Nickola will guide participants in crafting their own one-of-a-kind three-dimensional paper pulp objects and sculptures. Whether you come with family\, friends\, or on your own\, you will create a work that’s uniquely yours. \nThe workshop will begin with an introduction to Nickola’s practice\, in which she merges traditional papermaking with found objects\, weaving personal and cultural narratives into layered\, tactile forms. Her work often transforms everyday and salvaged materials into objects rich with memory and meaning—inviting us to reconsider what we keep\, discard\, and reimagine. \nParticipants will then have the opportunity to create their own original paper pulp sculpture (approximately 10 x 10 x 10 inches or smaller) using all materials provided. To make the work personal\, attendees are encouraged to bring a small item from home to serve as a structural support or adornment for their piece. This could be anything from a figurine\, photo frame\, drawing\, or piece of cardboard\, to an organic material\, document\, or other found object—provided it fits within the finished sculpture’s scale.\nBecause the paper works require drying time\, participants will return to the Museum later in the week to pick up their completed sculpture. \nAdditional Details: \nAll materials and aprons will be provided; please dress for a wet and hands-on art-making process. \nParticipants are invited to join an optional guided tour of fos born led by a Museum Educator from 1:30 to 2 pm before the workshop begins. \nOpen to all ages; families with children are invited to register.
