Rhizome Commissions 08: Conversations with Mushon Zer-Aviv, Dan Phiffer, David Nolen, Carolyn Strauss and Melanie Crean, Moderated by Rhizome Editor Ceci Moss

Please join us Friday August 8th at 7:30PM at the New Museum for a panel discussion honoring Rhizome's commissioned artists Mushon Zer-Aviv, Dan Phiffer, David Nolen, Carolyn Strauss and Melanie Crean. The talk is a second in a three-part series that features presentations by artists awarded grants through Rhizome's Commissions Program. Founded in 2001 to support artists working with technology, the Rhizome Commissions Program has awarded fifty-four commissions to-date. Projects realized through the Program represent some of the most forward-thinking and innovative works of media and internet-based art. In this evening's program, the artists will discuss their commissioned projects and larger bodies of work.BUY TICKETS HERE
