Lecture: "Production Values: Narratives of Making in Contemporary Art"
December 1, 3:00pm - 4:15pmMānoa Campus, Art 101
Intersections Visiting Scholar Glenn Adamson presents a lecture "Production Values: Narratives of Making in Contemporary Art."
Today芒鈧劉s artists have an unprecedented level of choice with regard to materials and methods available to them, yet the processes involved in making artworks are rarely addressed in books or exhibitions on art.
In this lecture, preeminent craft theorist and historian Glenn Adamson will draw from his new book "Art in the Making" (co-authored with Julia Bryan-Wilson). He will share stories from contemporary art, which collectively demonstrate that the materials and methods used to make artworks hold the key to artists芒鈧劉 motivations, their attitudes to authorship, uniqueness and the value of objects, the economic and social contexts from which they emerge, and their approach to the perceived opposition between materiality and conceptualism in art.
Book-signing to follow lecture. Books will be available from the UH Bookstore at this event.
