World-renowned author, activist, and curator Lucy R. Lippard is among the most influential and prolific writers on contemporary art. One of the first to describe the “dematerialization” of the art object in the late 1960s, Lippard has contributed scholarship critical to understanding contemporary art production. She is also celebrated for her essays exploring the intersection of art and feminism, and for her deep commitment to environmental activism. In this lecture, Lippard discusses the relationship between art and archaeology. Reception to follow. Generously sponsored by the Martin A. Ryerson Lectureship Fund.
