Thomas Hirschhorn "Gwathmey Chair Lecture"
Cooper Union (7 E 7th Street)
This event has ended.
The Cooper Union School of Art presents Art and politics as usual, a one-time series of programming that explores the political power of the visual arts.
The second event in this series, a public lecture by Thomas Hirschhorn, the 2008 Robert Gwathmey Chair in Art and Architecture, is on October 24, also in The Great Hall. Hirschhorn's talk, entitled Doing Art Politically: What Does This Mean?, precedes a weekend long critical workshop Energy: Yes! Quality: No! for a pre-registered group of Cooper Union students. Best known for his provocative installations constructed from tape, cardboard, foil, and images and texts culled from the mass media, Swiss-born artist Thomas Hirschhorn often works site-specifically, outside the gallery.
