I propose to study first an archetypical case: a secularization that occurred swiftly, with little anticipation, then
a rush of public events, then a formal severance between the parties, and lastly a slow, even protracted process whereby the spirit and loyalty and identity of the institution is drained of manifest faith.
The
event will feature open galleries and a
public discussion at 5:30 PM with Inherent Structure artists Laura Owens, Rebecca Morris, and Ruth Root, moderated by Ohio State Department
of Art Associate Professor George
Rush.
