Details: Oct. 25, 7:00 - 8:15 p.m., Wittemyer Courtroom, Wolf Law
In collaboration with EcoArts, on October 25 CEES will host a distinguished lecture by Lucy R. Lippard, an internationally recognized writer, critic, historian, curator, and activist.
Ms. Lippard is the curator of "Weather Report: Art and Climate Change," an innovative and ambitious art show featured at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art. As reported recently in the New York Times, the importance of the show's purpose—to create an interdisciplinary show on global warming—enticed the renowned Ms. Lippard into returning to the role of curator for the first time in 15 years.
Please join us for an illuminating and intellectually invigorating evening with our distinguished guest, Lucy Lippard. About Lucy Lippard
Lucy Lippard is an internationally known writer, activist and curator from the United States. Lippard was among the first writers to recognize the de-materialization at work in conceptual art and was an early champion of feminist art. She is the author of eighteen books on contemporary art, and the recipient of a 1968 Guggenheim Fellowship, the Frank Mather Award for Criticism from the College Art Association, and two National Endowment for the Arts grants in criticism. She has written art criticism for Art in America, The Village Voice, In These Times, and Z Magazine.
Lippard was born in New York City and lived in New Orleans and Charlottesville, Virginia, before enrolling at Abbot Academy in 1952. After earning a B.A. degree from Smith College, she worked with the American Friends Service Committee in a Mexican village—a first and crucial experience of a foreign nation. Later, she earned an M.A. degree in art history from the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University.
Since 1966, Lippard has published 20 books on feminism, art, politics and place and has received numerous awards and accolades from literary critics and art associations. Co-founder of Printed Matter, the Heresies Collective, Political Art Documentation/Distribution, Artists Call Against U.S. Intervention in Central America, and other artists' organizations, she has also curated over 50 exhibitions, done performances, comics, guerrilla theater, and edited several independent publications. She has infused aesthetics with politics, and disdained disinterestedness for ethical activism. |
