I think the moderator for next month is primarily interested in Social Practice Art. However your project is wonderful If either of you would like to propose to moderate an other theme though (based on this project or your interests in other areas) just write a proposal with a list of eight to ten guests who you might invite to join you and send it on. Right now we are programming for 2017. Best.

Pulling on tendencies within installation and performance art, anthropology, and anti-hierarchical political movements, among others, social practice sits alongside threads of new media production as inheritors of 20th century avant-garde experimentalism. At the same time, social practice has met with various criticisms: as a fad, a-political, utopian, white, erasing past efforts, and more.</span></p><p><span></span><br></p><p><span>In this month’s discussion we aim to interrogate what is meant by “social practice,” what the political efficacy of such practices might be, and what the responsibilities of various actors and institutions involved might be to one another.”</span></p><p>Thanks to all Renate<br><span></span></p><p><span>Renate Ferro</span></p><p><span>Visiting Associate Professor</span></p><p><span>College of Architecture, Art and Planning</span></p><p><span>Department of Art</span></p><p><span>Tjaden Hall 306</span></p></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
