*
The MIT List Visual Arts Center has gathered together several practicing artists and experts on performative practices to participate in the 2010 Wasserman Forum. This year’s forum will include a panel discussion with artists *Tino Sehgal*, *Tania Bruguera*, and the collective artist *Claire Fontaine*, moderated by writer and curator *Jens Hoffmann*, with respondents *Dorothea von Hantelmann*, *Frazer Ward*, and *Joan Jonas*. The forum will examine a variety of artistic practices in which the passage of time and the relationship to the viewer are significant. Unlike traditional art objects that are characterized by a physical permanence, many of the works created by the panel participants question and undermine, often in humorous ways, the common forms of how institutions present, collect, and display most art today.
*/Parody, Politics, and Performativity/* will take place on Saturday, March 13 with a panel discussion at 3PM, followed by responses beginning at 4:45. The forum is open and free to the public.
The annual Max Wasserman Forum on Contemporary Art was established in memory of Max Wasserman (MIT Class of 1935), a founding member of the Council of the Arts at MIT. This public forum is funded through the generosity of the late Jeanne Wasserman, and addresses critical issues in contemporary art and culture through the participation of renowned scholars, artists, and arts professionals. The forum was coordinated by Rebecca Uchill, a student in MIT’s department of History, Theory, and Criticism of Architecture and Art, and is administered and presented by the MIT List Visual Arts Center.
