Iain Kerr to Speak at 2011 Intermedia MFA Spring Faculty Lecture

The 2011 Intermedia MFA Spring Faculty Lecture

February 7th, 2011     -     100 Lord Hall, 7PM
  I know this sounds *#@*! absurd but...
      What is Art?

 


A hypothesis: Today anything can be art -- and that is not a bad thing. But it does come at a cost -- art is now mainly imagined to be a distinct sphere -- The Art World -- where forms of subjectivity and cultural capital contentedly circulate. This too is fine. But is there room to imagine that today art could be part of a larger and more ambitious project of “worldmaking”? Could art imagine itself part of the project of evolving new modes of being-of-the-world? This lecture is a meditation on this emerging dynamic.
