Left Coast Lectures: Art Centers Big Picture, USCs Art in the Public Sphere
Posted in: Uncategorized
So many talks, so little time. This week saw the launch of two interdisciplinary lecture series that provide an impressive list of reasons to make your way to Southern California (as if the frigid temperatures here on the East Coast weren’t incentive enough). On Monday, the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena kicked off its “Big Picture” lecture series with a talk by Kurt Andersen, the school’s own “Visionary-In-Residence.” Ensuing Monday afternoons through March will feature talks by the likes of writer and outside.in founder Steven Johnson and art historian Karen Lang. Over at the University of Southern California, the Master of Public Art Studies: Art in the Public Sphere program began its spring lecture forum with a presentation by artist Andrea Fraser. Future speakers will include cultural critic and historian Norman Klein, artist Paul Ramirez Jonas, and Rudolf Frieling, curator of media arts at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
In New York City? You’re in luck, too. American Craft editor-in-chief Andrew Wagner has just let us know about a discussion that he’ll be taking part in this Thursday evening at the Museum of Arts and Design. The Venn diagram-worthy topic? “Where Craft and Design Intersect.” Wagner will investigate the overlap with MAD chief curator David Revere McFadden, designer Suzanne Tick, and (be still our hearts!) artist Michelle Oka Doner.
