Art History Lectures with Derrick Cartwright
1008 Wall Street, San Diego, 92037
Cost: $14 - $19
“What’s Wrong with This Picture?”
This first lecture will tackle a long history of artists who have deliberately refused to be bound by traditional aesthetic categories. It will focus on ways their work has contributed to new ways of seeing the world.
The series explores the art world of today with an eye toward the unique conditions of making, consuming, exhibiting, and sustaining a vibrant visual culture in the 21st Century.
Although some situations are indeed “problematic,” the point of these lectures is not to bemoan our predicaments or to offer negative judgments; rather it will be to identify more clearly the prevailing creative conditions of our contemporary moment and ask, “How did our art world get to be this way?”
