20th Century Avant-Garde Art & Music
1008 Wall Street, San Diego, 92037
Cost: $12 - $45
A 3-part series of lectures presented by Charissa Noble will trace the influence of the scientific imagination on modern art and avant-garde music from the 1900s to the present, and she will discuss how scientific fantasies have transformed how we think about art, ourselves, and our world. Covering music, visual art, and literature, the first lecture looks at creative responses to the breathless acceleration of the modern age at the turn of the 20th century, from the strident aggression of Futurism to the utopic visions of spiritual and scientific triumph over the ailments of humanity in Theosophically inspired art.
