SUMMARY:Elisabeth Kley
DESCRIPTION:Claiming\, “I’ve always liked the idea of objects looking at you\,” Elisabeth Kley produces exuberant ceramic objects and mixed-media drawings full of faces\, eyes\, and designs that suggest them. She is drawn to flamboyance\, populating her works on paper with fan tailed peacocks and portraits of drag queens\, artists\, and fashion mavens\, including Candy Darling\, Salvador Dalí\, and Coco Chanel. Her ceramics are covered with bright colors and punchy designs\, reflecting influences ranging from Islamic tile work to Ballets Russes costumes. But all is not light and happiness in her fanciful creations. Kley wrestles with mortality\, keenly felt and inevitable\, in all of her work\, whose keyed-up colors mask darker emotions: “Bright colors don’t always signify happiness\,” she says. “They can express other emotions\, perhaps exhibitionism and rage. They may also cover up things you want to hide.” – Artsy  \n  \nElisabeth Kley is a New York artist and writer who solo exhibitions of ceramics\, watercolors\, drawings and prints have taken place in the John Tevis Gallery in Paris France\, the Geogian National Gallery in Tbilisi\, Le Petit Versailles\, several galleries in New York and around the world. She has also participated in many group exhibitions and was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant.   \n  \nSponsored by the Ceramics Department

SUMMARY:John Corso
DESCRIPTION:“Notes on Damien Hirst’s Pharmaceutical Works” \nCritical Studies Fellow John Corso Esquivel will offer an informal critic’s talk about his new book project\, Pharmaesthetics: Pill Culture in Contemporary Art. John will discuss his preliminary research on Damien Hirst’s pharmaceutical works. Following Foucault’s concept of the “medical gaze\,” John will suggest that Hirst’s medicine cabinets take as their subject not living human bodies\, but the post-mortem corpse. In the European memento mori genre\, death was pictured to urge believers to follow a Christian moral life. Hirst\, John will argue\, does not invoke death with those religious purposes. Instead\, Hirst sets up an aesthetics rooted in anarchy and the insufficiency of pharmacology to understand the human subject. \nSponsored by the Critical Studies and Humanities Program

SUMMARY:Daniel Greenberg
DESCRIPTION:Danny Greenberg is an artist\, printmaker and writer based in New York City. His work is composed between the spoken word and the page\, the print and the vignette\, using language to empower an audience. He received his BFA from Washington University in St Louis in Printmaking with a minor in Writing\, MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Print Media\, and attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2018. Recent solo exhibitions include if one thing matters\, then everything matters two at Muted Horn Gallery in Cleveland Ohio and Beauty is a Thing of Guilt Forever at Tuttle Gallery in Baltimore\, Maryland. \nGreenberg will deliver the lecture “He Will Not See Me Stopping Here.” \nFrom Greenberg: The first and only poem I memorized was “Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost. My teacher had us walk around the school building reading the lines silently to the rhythm of our footsteps\, until we could recite them verbatim. In this activity\, gesture and language merged\, and words acted as physical things\, propelling the body forward. More recently\, a friend told me that anyone who thinks about the world in a critical way has thought about suicide at least once\, even as a passing thought. I wrote an essay about the poem “Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening” in ninth grade\, interpreting it as a feeling of world-weariness – but then\, “I have promises to keep\, And miles to go before I sleep.” I am thankful to my teacher who allowed me to experiment with writing at a young age without censorship\, or stigmatizing intellectual curiosity around suicide. I wish I still had that essay. It feels like a thesis for everything I have made and written since. In an interview\, Peter Schjeldahl posits that every great American symbol is about loneliness – the river\, the open road\, the whiteness of the whale. With all of this said – the lecture will be a chance for me to contend with my mixed emotions around corporate and governmental structures meant to protect individuals\, collaboration with or creation of an artwork postmortem\, and the making of words into gestures\, back to words again\, using free association and poetics as tools to dig in deep.
