SISTER CORITA ‘PASSION FOR THE POSSIBLE’
CURATED BY AARON ROSE
CORITA KENT WAS AN ARTIST, TEACHER, PHILOSOPHER, POLITICAL ACTIVIST, AND POSSIBLY ONE OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE AND UNUSUAL POP ARTISTS OF THE 1960’S. SHE COULD BE SEEN AS THE POSITIVE WEST-COAST ALTERNATIVE TO WARHOL, POSSIBLY PRE-DATING HIM. WITH FAME, CAME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING HER CONTEMPORARIES TO LECTURE AT HER TEACHINGS. ILLUSTRIOUS SPEAKERS INCLUDING LUMINARIES SUCH AS DESIGNERS CHARLES AND RAY EAMES, MUSICIAN JOHN CAGE, GRAPHIC DESIGNER SAUL BASS AND FILM DIRECTOR ALFRED HITCHCOCK. HOWEVER, WHAT IS PERHAPS EVEN MORE INCREDIBLE IS THAT SHE WAS A CATHOLIC NUN.
