Cut Loose

Lanfranco Aceti, the Director of Arts Administration @ Boston University http://www.bu.edu/artsadmin/ will have a conversation at New York University on on March 24 with http://www.stefanostsivopoulos.com Stefanos Tsivopoulos (who represented Greece at the 55th Venice Biennale 2013). The event is chaired by Prof. Mechthild Schmidt Feist.

You can join them on March 24 at 6pm, at NYU-SPS 7e12 street, room 321. Please RSVP here to guarantee a seat: http://bit.ly/1UYOlyH - there are limited seats and they will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Also, please bring a form of ID.

The talk, Cut Loose: On the Far Side of Post-democracies and Post-citizens, follows the publication of an issue that Aceti has edited for the http://vcu.sagepub.com/content/14/2.toc Journal of Visual Culture titled CUT. The conversation between Aceti and Tsivopoulos stems from a new essay that Aceti has been writing and that looks at the conflicting relationship between citizens and state hierarchies as consequence of the financial and social crises as well as from a new publication/artwork that Tsivopoulos has developed around a news series of artworks titled Archive Crisis: Shaking Up the Shelves of History which focus on the current socio-political unrest in Greece, Europe and the United States.
