The Power of Art: July 11

The Power of Art: A Panel Discussion
Saturday, July 11, 11am - 6pm
The Drawing Center
35 Wooster St.

The Power of Art will center its discussions on the relationship between art and power, as well as a wider conception of the current ‘value’ of art. Internationally renowned philosophers, art historians, architects, poets, cultural critics and artist will assemble for this one-day event to address the power (or in many cases powerlessness) that art has to produce individual, social and cultural change, and will also investigate art’s influence on cultural aesthetics and the global economy.

Participants will include: Meena Alexander, Keller Easterling, Jonatan Habib Engqvist , David Joselit, Alexis Knowlton, Warren Neidich, Susanne Neubauer, John Welchman, Sven-Olov Wallenstein, Bruce Wexler & Laura Wexler.
