Shown in conjunction with the Flinn Gallery’s exhibit GLOW, this illuminating documentary sheds a light on the groundbreaking artist Hilma af Klint, who introduced concepts of abstract art at the turn of the 20^th century. Positing that she has been overlooked for myriad reasons including gender, spiritualist influences and a refusal to work within the system, the film seeks to reclaim af Klint's remarkable, singular legacy in art history. 1h34m. Check out a trailer here! Be sure to visit the Flinn Gallery's art lounge before the screening, open from 5:00-6:45pm.

Reel Talk: After the film, join us for a Q&A with Max Rosenberg, an art historian and Director of Research and Exhibitions at the David Zwirner Gallery. He is a contributor to the book Hilma af Klint: Tree of Knowledge (2023), copies of which will be available for early purchase exclusively at this event.
