School of Visual Arts Theatre
333 W 23 Street
David Cohen, publisher and editor of artcritical.com, explores the philosophical and historical implications of several events that have gripped the attention of the art world. They include the dispute between Swiss installation artist Christophe Büchel and MASS MoCA, the lawsuit brought against Richard Prince by photographer Patrick Cariou, John Baldessari’s altercations with the Giacometti Foundation, and the case of the Warhol Foundation vs. Simon-Whelan. In response to his remarks, Cohen will be joined in conversation by Karen Gover, professor of philosophy at Bennington College, and artist and artnet magazine editor Walter Robinson. Presented by the BFA Visual & Critical Studies Department.
The BFA Visual and Critical Studies Department at SVA is a multidisciplinary studio program designed to engage and challenge ambitious students in areas beyond a single medium of expression and creation. This dynamic course of study reflects our rapidly expanding visual culture and the increasing urgency to educate students about all aspects of visual experience. Visual & Critical Studies allows students an extraordinary opportunity to shape their own multi-dimensional art education through a guided combination of studio courses and academic offerings focusing on myriad forms and venues of contemporary visual life.
