Occupy CAA

[From Nancy Popp]

If any of you will be at College Art Association in Los Angeles this week, I'll be chairing a panel on Saturday, Feb 25th at 2:30p.

I am hoping this panel will provide an entry to 'Occupy" CAA, and open up the very restrictive structure of the conference to create a more equitable platform for discussion.

This panel will be multi-sited, participation-based, and open to students and the general public in conjunction with OTIS College of Art and Design's Re/Locating Learning: Public Practices as Art:

Please join us in the West Lobby of the Los Angeles Convention Center; we will be starting the panel in Conference Room 403A.

Performing Space 

Nancy Popp (chair), Sara Daleiden, Janet Owen-Driggs, Matt Driggs, Marie Shurkus, Bill Kelley Jr.

This Open Forms session is a re-envisioning of the relationship between the self and public space in creating a non-dialectical ‘third’ social space. 

Panel participants will collectively explore alternative methods of presentations and conversational forms within the site of the conference panel.  As investigations of time, inter-subjectivity and spatial theories, these forms attempt a re-framing of notions and functions of performance and presentation. 

 

Panelists will also inquire into the impetus and affects of contemporary performance practice-particularly in terms of the relational space of the city, and related issues of spatial theory, geo-philosophy and the political activation of social space.
