Art Forum Speaker Series:
Alfredo Jaar
|
Tuesday, April 21th
3:00-6:00pm and Wednesday, April 22th
6:00-8:00 pm CGIS South, S-020 Concourse
Level, 1730 Cambridge -----  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Considered one the most
influential artists of our time, Chilean Alfredo
Jaar has produced, over the last few decades,
haunting installations, filled with muted images
which, in their relentless unavailability,
remind the viewers of their passivity in a
number of crimes against humanity which have
occurred or are occurring under their complacent
watch. Jaar's work has been shown extensively
around the world. He received a Guggenheim
Fellowship in 1985 and was named a MacArthur
fellow in the year 2000. More than thirty
publications have been published on his work by
some of the most distinguished intellectuals and
art historians.
In It is Difficult, Jaar will
present and discuss his latest projects produced
around the world, in which he continues to
question and denounce the power structures at
play as well as unrelentingly challenge the
spectator's political inaction.
In
collaboration with the Harvard Department of
History and Art.

"Literature that
Changed My Life"
$500
Prize
in books from Harvard University Press
to the best essay
Perhaps a novel,
a poem, story, or a play has had a profound
effect on you. We invite students of Harvard
College to submit a short essay (600 word limit)
about the impact of a work of literature on your
life. By its nature, creativity is an
exploration beyond known forms. And
imaginative writing explores the unfamiliar, so
fiction is not a distraction as much as it is a
stretch of intelligence and sensibilities.
Tell us
how a book changed your life.
Deadline:
April 21, 2009
Awards reception:
Late April
