CULTURAL CARGO
Paola Pivi (Artist | Galerie Perrotin) and Sarah Thornton (Writer and Sociologist of Culture)
Renowned author and cultural sociologist, Sarah Thornton, will interview Paola Pivi, an artist whose dynamic sculptures and installations address the tragicomedies of life, society, nature and power. Appropriating cultural symbols and translating them into an art context, the subjects of Pivi’s spectacular and enigmatic practice have included live animals in the museum, an upside-down G-91 fighter jet, anthropomorphic feathered polar bears and unedited documentation of staged performances.

ART CRITICISM AND ROCK & ROLL
Jan Verwoert (Critic and Author), Jörg Heiser (Author), and Ian F. Svenonius (Musician and Author)
Featuring critics, writers, musicians and music theorists, this panel will focus on lyricism in the expanded sense of their multi-faceted practices—from the contemporary art review to sonic adaptations. How does the metric of language—rhythm, rhyme, and lyricism—change within these contexts? Art Critics Jan Verwoert and Jörg Heiser, both members of the band La Stampa (Italian for “the press”) will be joined by musician and acclaimed author of Censorship Now!! Ian F. Svenonius in advance of their Fall 2017 album release. Presented in partnership with the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago.
