• 1:15–1:45pm: Curator Talk – Kat Goffnett, Assistant Curator of Collections at Cranbrook Art Museum and curator of the Toth exhibition, will discuss Carl Toth’s practice and its evolution over the years from the early, hand-colored collages to his experimental works with the SX-70 camera, and eventually, the Xerox machine.
