A Project for Documenta 13: Steve Kurtz & Critical Art Ensemble
$5 general, $4 Hallwalls members, UB Students FREE
A Buffalo-based artist whose work is staged and celebrated around the world, Steve Kurtz, Chair of Visual Studies at the University at Buffalo, will address his four major projects of this year.
Kurtz is a founding member of Critical Art Ensemble, one of the most significant art collectives today, which explores the intersection of art, technology, and political activism.
Unusually, the group completed two projects for the festival: “A Temporary Monument to Global Economic Inequality” (pictured below) and “Winning Hearts and Minds.” In addition, their contestational ecology project “New Alliances” was featured at Parco Arte Vivente in Turin, Italy.
A large illustrated text of major Critical Art Ensemble projects entitled “Disturbances” was published this year. It will be available for purchase and signing following the talk.
