Art on the Dark Side Symposium Keynote Address: Fred Wilson
7:00 pm
Adult Program
The third annual Art of Concern Symposium, Art on the Dark Side, explores the styles and themes of the gothic. Though typically identified with literary figures such as Edgar Allen Poe or Nathanial Hawthorne, the gothic has persistently "haunted" an optimistic notion of American culture. This year's symposium will explore manifestations of the gothic in twentieth-century art to better understand the complicated nature of our American experience. The symposium will open with a keynote address by Fred Wilson, an artist who was awarded a MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant in 1999, and in 2003 was selected to represent the United States at the Venice Biennale. Wilson is known for his unorthodox re-installations of museum collections that reveal how cultural institutions shape our ideas of artistic value and historical truth. Wilson's opening address will be followed by two days of talks and roundtables exploring the topic of the gothic by nationally and internationally known scholars and artists such as David Parks Corbett, University of York, United Kingdom and Randall Griffey, associate curator of American art, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Please call 614.629.0359 for further details.
