To celebrate a rarely displayed three-dimensional print from its permanent collection, Stubb and Flask Kill a Right Whale by Frank Stella (1992) the McMullen Museum welcomes Boston College faculty and staff for an evening with Provost David Quigley, Professor of Philosophy Chris Constas, Professors of English Christy Pottroff and Min Song, and Museum Assistant Director of Learning Rachel Chamberlain for a reading of chapter 73 of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick (1851), after which Stella’s print is titled, and an informal dialogue on the intersections of Melville’s novel, its historical context, Stella’s monumental print, and the larger Moby Dick series he completed between 1985 and 1997.
