Art Around Athens


Today over at the Lamar Dodd School of Art are two art history lectures as part of the Visual Culture Colloquium series. At 5 p.m., in room 150, Jenny Gunn, who used to work at the museum and recently moved away to Durham (we miss her!), is speaking on "Les Celibataires Memes: Spectatorship and Identity in Marcel Duchamp's 'Etant Donnés,'" Duchamp's final work of art, an installation piece at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Following Gunn's talk (or so we assume, judging from the order in which they're listed on the Dodd's Web site) is a lecture by Nathanael Roesch, "Out of Bounds: Paul Pfeiffer's 'Caryatid' and the Borders of Representation" on Pfeiffer's video art that erases the ball from soccer matches and its connections to Johan Huizinga's "Homo Ludens."
