What’s Love Got to Do with It: Affect, Interactivity and the Haptic


Dates:
Sat Dec 13, 2014 10:00 - Sat Dec 13, 2014

Location:
New York, New York
United States of America

On Saturday, December 13th from 10am to 4pm ET, candidates from the ICP-Bard MFA and Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College MA programs will present "What’s Love Got to Do with It: Affect, Interactivity and the Haptic", a one-day symposium examining the role love plays in the creation, interaction, and interpretation of art and objects.

The symposium will be composed of artist talks, panel discussions, and a performance followed by a Q&A session. Featured speakers include: Jessica Berson, Patty Chang, Andrew Durbin, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Gerard and Kelly and Jacolby Satterwhite. Moderators include: Johanna Burton, David Deitcher and Adriana Blidaru

The symposium will address the tactics used by artists and thinkers as they navigate the contemporary landscape while reshaping materiality, sensory practices, the economy of sexuality, and fetish. Topics of discussion will range from how experiences of loss, fantasy, intimacy and displacement change our proximity to photography and the creation and interpretation of images to how physical and virtual relationships cultivated in a post-internet culture influence contemporary art practice.

As part of a forthcoming symposium publication, objects offered by participants will be photographed over the course of the day.

After the symposium, please join the ICP-Bard MFA candidates for their 2014 Open Studios exhibition in Long Island City. Details here: http://rhizome.org/announce/events/61054/

ICP-BARD MFA 2014 OPEN STUDIOS


Dates:
Sat Dec 13, 2014 18:00 - Sat Dec 13, 2014

Location:
Long Island City, New York
United States of America

The ICP-BARD MFA Program in Advanced Photographic Studies is pleased to invite you to its Open Studios 2014!

Saturday, December 13, 2014 from 6pm - 10pm ET, immediately after the "What's Love Got To Do With It?" Symposium http://rhizome.org/announce/events/61055/

In the main gallery, a curated show of work from the current MFA candidates considers the notion of relationship. How does connection influence our vision and shape our interpretation of reality and fantasy? Does experience with an “other” hold generative potential? What do we seek when we try to connect? Using photography as a common denominator, we experiment across disciplines to open a discussion about interaction and the creative possibilities it offers.

Additionally, the twenty-four artists will open their studios to share current work.
