CMP will host the Spring CMP Critique with guest critique Tania Bruguera on February 10. CMP students will gather for a peer critique to which CMP students, faculty, guest artists, filmmakers, and curators are invited. Students in G3 and above are asked to show a work in progress of their capstone or other CMP work and are welcome to circulate materials to participants a week in advance. Each student will present for up to 10 minutes, followed by a 20-minute discussion. We are excited to bring everyone together for this spring critique! Check back for the full schedule.
The installation and performance artist Tania Bruguera researches ways in which art can be applied to everyday political life, focusing on the transformation of social affect into political effectiveness. Her long-term projects have been intensive interventions on the institutional structure of collective memory, education, and politics.
Bruguera earned her MFA in performance from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is the founder and director of Cátedra Arte de Conducta (Behavior Art School), the first performance studies program in Latin America. Bruguera’s work has been exhibited at documenta 11, the Guggenheim Museum, and Tate Modern and also at the Bienal Iberoamericana de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, the Gwangju Biennale, the Istanbul Biennial, and Shanghai Biennale. Her work is in the permanent collections of many institutions around the world, including the Bronx Museum of the Arts, the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de La Habana, and the Museum of Modern Art, in New York.
Kindly RSVP to Cozette Russell if you would like to join. Lunch will be provided.
