Artist Talk: When Cancellations Become Form


Michael Asher. Claire Copley Gallery, Inc. Los Angeles, CA, 1974

Are cancellations, censorship, and institutional quagmires necessarily the end of art projects?

Please join me and curator Lauren van Haaften-Schick for a conversation on moral rights, law as medium, and judges as art critics. Recent controversial art cases such as Mass MoCA v. Büchel, Kelley v. Chicago Park DistrictCariou v. Prince, and Steinkamp v. Rhona Hoffman (concerning a lost Sol LeWitt certificate of authenticity) will be discussed.

This conversation is part of the exhibition, Canceled: Alternative Manifestations and Productive Failures, curated by Lauren van Haaften-Schick and on view now through June 30, 2012 at the Center for Book Arts in New York City.

Where:
The Center for Book Arts
28 W. 27th St., 3rd Floor, New York, NY

When:
Wednesday, June 13, 6:30pm

This event is free and open to the public. No RSVP required.
