Channel Surfing: Collapsing Boundaries in Contemporary Art and Culture
An Interdisciplinary Roundtable
Thursday, February 14, 1:30 p.m. Free
In conversation with the Rose Art Museum's re-mounting of the exhibition, "Broken Home," we explore the rapid pace of borrowing across a range of categorical domains in contemporary art and culture. Our discussion builds on the analysis of "modularization" developed by anthropologist Bradd Shore, as articulated in his book Culture in Mind: Cognition, Culture and the Problem of Meaning, especially his chapter "The Cognitive Landscapes of Modernity."
Participants include: Mark Auslander, Lily Bonga, Katie Hargrave, Rick Parmentier, Ellen Schattschneider, Bradd Shore, Andreas Teuber
