CALL FOR PAPERS
The 3rd Annual MA in Critical Studies Symposium

Graduate students from other institutions are cordially invited to present their thesis work relating to these ideas. Please send abstracts of no more than 250 words to Avery Brow (abrow@mica.edu) by March 10 for consideration. | Narratives of Modernity, Contemporaneity, and Desire is a symposium devoted to a consideration of important points in our cultural past and present, with the aim of better understanding critical discourse in the arts and, more generally, the world around us. How have artists, writers, and activists employed narrative strategies in creating particular effects, or achieving certain goals? And how, in the process, has their work contributed to or challenged notions of modernism, history, and humanity? |
Sunday 3/8 // Artist Talk: David Balzer @ Red Emma's

His new book is the non-fiction study Curationism: How Curating Took Over the Art World and Everything Else (Coach House Press/Pluto Press). In this incisive and original study, critic David Balzer travels through art history and around the globe to explore the cult of curation–where it began, how it came to dominate museums and galleries, and how it was co-opted at the turn of the millennium as the dominant mode of organizing and giving value to content.

For more than two decades, Ezio Manzini has worked in the field of design for sustainability. Most recently, his interests have focused on social innovation, a major driver of sustainable social change. He is the founder of DESIS, an international network of schools of design specifically active in the field of design for social innovation and sustainability.
