As Gertrude Himmelfarb has written, in place of the «confession (la Augustine) of one's own faults and sins, it is today «more often a «confession» of the faults and sins of others — of parents, lovers, friends,
associates, or, if need be, of
society at large.»
If such perception - events are more about ideas and concepts — our own, or those we glean through interactions with different communities or
society at large — to what extent would notions such as popular visual tropes, specific cultural references, or language itself tend to be
associated with physical sensations?
Seminars, site visits, individual meetings, and roundtable discussions will be led by the following faculty: Bruce Altshuler (Director, Program in Museum Studies, New York University), Nicholas Cullinan (Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art), Reem Fadda (
Associate Curator of Middle Eastern Art, Abu Dhabi Project, Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New York), Kate Fowle (Chief Curator, Garage, Moscow, and Director -
at -
Large, ICI), Dóra Hegyi (Project Leader, tranzit.hu, Budapest), Todd Levin (art advisor), Chus Martínez (Chief Curator, El Museo del Barrio, New York), Gabriela Rangel (Director of Visual Arts and Curator, Americas
Society, New York), and Jenny Schlenzka (
Associate Curator, MoMA PS1, New York), among others.
... costs borne by
society at large include: costs
associated with delays in court and administrative proceedings; increased court operation costs attributable to unrepresented litigants and accused; and, more broadly, costs
associated with legal problems that are not resolved in an acceptable manner (including increased health care costs, increased social assistance costs and so on).
