Instigating Accidents: Chance as Strategy and Aesthetic
@ Center for Book and Paper Arts
1104 S Wabash Ave, 2, Chicago, IL 60605
Opening Thursday, February 17th, from 6PM - 8PM
Playful and provocative, the deliberate use of chance as strategy and aesthetic has a crucial role in the history of visual art and literary practices. This panel brings together a curator, artist, poet and art historian to discuss historic and contemporary uses of randomness.
Meredith Malone, Associate Curator, Kemper Art Museum, will discuss her exhibition Chance Aesthetics (2009); Judith Goldman, Humanities and Harper-Schmidt Fellow, University of Chicago, will discuss chance from a poet’s point of view; Visual artist Robin Price will discuss the role of chance in her artist book projects. Art historian Simon Anderson, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, will moderate the discussion.
A reception in the gallery will follow the panel discussion; this panel is held in association with Counting on Chance, a retrospective of work by Robin Price.
