Sotheby’s Aspen presents ‘The New Frontier,’ on view through April 2

In the 20th and 21st centuries, the American frontier has become a symbol of nostalgia, no longer the great unknown to be explored, conquered, and captured on camera and canvas to impress spectators. Rather, artists reminisce for tranquility, abstract landscapes, and envision new frontiers well beyond the Great Plains.

The exhibition features works by Richard Prince and Ed Ruscha, who address the commoditization of nostalgia of the American frontier in Hollywood. Works discussing new frontiers by Lucio Fontana and Alighiero Boetti show the expansion of society’s definitions of frontiers in the late 20th and early 21st century. 

Aspen Center for Physics free lecture series. “Black Holes in the Spotlight” with Suvi Gezari, Space Telescope Science Institute, Wednesday, March 8, 5:30 p.m.

In her talk, Gezari will highlight how we hunt for supermassive black holes by watching them feast on unlucky stars that wander too close by in the nucleus of a galaxy. She will show the bounty from the hunt using telescopes on the ground and in space that survey the dynamic night sky; how scientists plan to use these star-feeding events to probe the demographics of supermassive black holes in galaxy nuclei; and to answer the fundamental question of how they first formed in the universe.

There is no need to RSVP for these public physics talks. Organizers recommend arriving early to secure a seat and have tea and cookies prior to the lecture.

Kaia and Jake will host a two-night event at TACAW March 8-9.
