Dates:
Thu Dec 15, 2005 00:00 - Mon Dec 05, 2005
PAUL GOLDBERGER and BRUCE MAU
At The Parsons Table
December 15, 6:30 pm, The New School, Tishman Auditorium
66 West 12th Street
New York, NY
On Thursday, December 15, visionary designer Bruce Mau will join Paul Goldberger, architecture critic at the New Yorker and dean of Parsons The New School for Design, for a lively discussion that will address some of the most topical issues in the field of design. Their public dialogue will take place before a live audience at The New School’s historic Tishman Auditorium. Now in its second year, "At the Parsons Table" features today’s leading voices in the fields of art, architecture, fashion, and design in conversation with Dean Goldberger, one of the nation’s preeminent architecture and design critics. In addition to Mau, this season’s series has featured Chuck Close (October 27). Upcoming guests include Michael Graves and Donna Karan.
The program on December 15 begins at 6:30 p.m. It will be held at Tishman Auditorium, The New School, 66 West 12th Street. Tickets are $15 for the general public, and are available via the New School University Box Office, 66 West 12th Street, or via telephone at 212-229-5488. Box office hours are Mon. - Thurs. 1-8 pm, Fri. 1-7 p.m. Advance ticketing is strongly advised. A limited number of press passes are available to the event; for information on securing a press pass, contact Deborah Kirschner at 212-229-5667 x4310 or kirschnd@newschool.edu.
Mau is known for his collaborations with Rem Koolhaas and Frank Gehry, and most recently for his book Massive Change, which explores the intersections of design, technology, culture, science, and civilization. With Goldberger, Mau will reflect on politically charged topics like the designer as social entrepreneur, genetically modified organisms, and the design of economies and financial markets. Dean Goldberger will also discuss with Mau the collaborative process in contemnporary design—something Mau knows well, given his experience working with Koolhaas, Gehry, and other leading designers.

Walid Raad Performance Lecture, The New School, 8 pm
Dates:
Tue Dec 06, 2005 00:00 - Wed Nov 30, 2005
The Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School Presents
My Neck is Thinner Than a Hair: A Performance Lecture by Walid Raad,
The New School, Tishman Auditorium, 66 West 12th Street, First Floor.
Tuesday, December 6, 8 p.m.
$8. Free for Students with Valid ID. Tickets can be purchased by phone with a credit card (212) 229-5488 or in person at The New School Box Office, 66 West 12th Street, main floor, Monday-Thursday 1-8 p.m., Friday 1-7 p.m. Reservations can be made by email: boxoffice@newschool.edu.
Born in Lebanon but now residing in the United States, Walid Raad is one of the most significant new voices in visual arts and culture. His works include video, photography and literary essays. Focusing on specific incidents of car bombings in the contemporary history of Lebanon, Raad investigates traumatic events of huge proportion, and the ways film, video, and photography document trauma and violence. In our current climate of cultural and political polarization, his work resonates deeply. For it shows how the visual and performing arts contribute to our increased understanding of the Middle East.
His first solo exhibition in New York, “The Dead Weight of a Quarrel Hangs,” will open January 7, 2006 at The Kitchen in Chelsea.
On December 6, Raad will present a one-hour performance lecture, “My Neck Is Thinner Than a Hair: A History of the Car Bomb in the 1975-1991 Lebanese Civil Wars, Volume 1: January 21, 1986.” It is the result of his year-long collaboration with artists Tony Chakar and Bilal Khbeiz. This particular piece examines a single car bomb detonated January 21, 1986 in the Furn Ech Chubak area of Beirut. But their ongoing collective work considers the many vexed dimensions—social, psychological, political, economic—of war-torn Lebanon. Indeed, it investigates the complex responses to the 3,600 car bombs that exploded between 1975 and 1991. The project is co-produced by The Atlas Group (Beirut/New York), Ashkal Alwan (Beirut), Kunsten Festival des Arts (Brussels), House of World Cultures (Berlin), Spectacles Vivants, Centre Pompidou (Paris), and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School.
Founded in 1992, The Vera List Center for Art and Politics embodies The New School’s historic commitment to the arts. The center organizes and sponsors public events, online programs, and occasional publications. It engages cultural production that emerges inside and outside the traditional art world and seeks to intervene in contemporary political debates. A place where scholarship develops into general resource, policy, and civic engagement, the center reaches both national and international audiences.
