In The Flesh: Charles Long and Jonathan Lethem To celebrate SBMA's 75th anniversary and the re-installation of Charles Long’s popular sculpture Sundae Sculpting School (2000) in the Museum's Family Resource Center, this event brings together sculptor Charles Long and novelist, essayist, and cultural critic Jonathan Lethem to discuss their shared interest in the human body and how it distinctively informs their work.
