Joyce Cutler-Shaw Dialogues in Art & Architecture
Since 1991, Dialogues in Art and Architecture has been a program of free public talks on the experimental edge of new art—particularly across disciplines—and architecture, addressing architectural design, urban planning, public culture, our changing ecology, and the artist’s perspective on these issues, as models of possibilities for the San Diego environment. The series consists of lectures by outstanding professionals of national/international reputation with art critic Robert Pincus as moderator. May 9: MEXUS: Cross-Border Citizens Teddy Cruz, Professor of Public Culture and Urbanization, UCSD Fonna Forman, Professor of Political Theory, UCSD Robert Pincus, Moderator Is there a Cross-Border Citizen, whose idea of belonging is not defined by jurisdictional boundaries of the nation state but by the shared interests, norms and aspirations that define a region? In this time of divisive political rhetoric, and obsession with borders, can we reconceive citizenship in cultural terms? Cruz and Forman will discuss their inspirations for MEXUS, their installation for U.S. Pavillion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale.
