Symposium
"Painting and its Humors, a symposium"
Painting and its Humors, a symposium is a day-long fling intended to let fresh air back into art after the much ballyhooed "Death of Painting.”
The symposium examines painting as a site of theoretical improvisation and artistic slapstick in an effort to create alternate itineraries for thinking about what a work is, what artists do, and aesthetic experience.
Participants in the round-tables will include: Lauren Berlant, Zachary Cahill, Jessica Campbell, Vitaly Komar, David Leggett, Laura Owens, William Pope. L, Michael Portnoy, Jacob Proctor, David Robbins, Suellen Rocca, Jan Verwoert, Scott Wolniak, and Molly Zuckerman-Hartung.
