What is Performance Art? A talk by David Levine, artist and Professor of the Practice at Harvard University. Levine's performance and exhibition artworks have been presented by organizations including Creative Time, MoMA, Mass MoCA, and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. His recent exhibition "Some of the People, All of the Time" at the Brooklyn Museum was described as "a timely, anxiety-inducing Brechtian meta-performance" that "reminds us to always remain skeptical of the crowd in our post-authentic condition" (Art in America, June 2018). Levine will discuss his work and the categories of "performance" and "performance art." Location: CVPA 153 Contact: ruchill@umassd.edu
