Mary Jane Jacob lecture

I just learned that Mary Jane Jacob is giving a lecture at 7pm on Tuesday in Grant
Auditorium. She is the curator who chose all the projects in the art show that Kwon writes
about in the reading for Sunday.

If you are able to attend, you may POSTPONE your blog entry to Thursday at 12 noon.
Instead of the original assignment, write about this event as it relates to the reading. If
you decide to do this, you will still need to read for class on Monday.
AND/OR:
Even if you choose to do the regular blog entry for Sunday, you could use this lecture as
a resource for your essay. It could be one of your outside sources, instead of or in
addition to, a book or journal.

Those who can't attend will have their blog entries due at the same time, on Sunday.

This is a really great coincidence that matches perfectly with the reading and essay 3,
so I want to encourage you all to go!

Making Space for Art
Tuesday, October 30, 2007
7:00 pm in the Arnold M. Grant Auditorium

Mary Jane Jacob will talk about her projects that encompass artistic, curatorial, public,
and community practices.

Considered a nonconformist among U.S. curators, Jacob has organized such innovative
exhibitions as Places with a Past in Charleston (1991), Culture in Action in
Chicago (1993), Conversations at The Castle in Atlanta (1996), and Evoking History
in Charleston (2001-present). She recently co-edited Buddha Mind in Contemporary
Art (University of California Press, 2004). http://www.maryjanejacob.org/
