Resistance: Spiegel Symposium 2005
march 17-18, 2005
· · ·
 
Labeled "anti-form" or "scatter art," Barry Le Va's aggressive, room-scale installations of felt and glass challenged viewers of the late-sixties and seventies. This symposium explores themes of "resistance" in the culture and politics of the period, from Vietnam protest to punk and the furthest reaches of contemporary art, music and literature. "Resistance," the first annual Spiegel Symposium, is being jointly organized by ICA and Penn's departments of architecture, cinema studies, fine art and history of art.
 
Attend four lively panels of historians, critics, curators, artists, and architects who will grapple with the history, art, architecture, and cinema of Resistance. Friday, March 18 beginning at 9:30am (Annenberg School, Room 110).
 
Highlights of the symposium include a lecture by Barry Le Va on Thursday, March 17 at 5:30 p.m. at the ICA, and a talk by Keynote Speaker Greil Marcus on Friday, March 18 at 6 p.m. at Meyerson Hall Auditorium B1.
 
No registration is required. Seating for all events is first come first serve.
