4:00pm _ panel _ ecoartspace
panel discussion / Rudolph Steiner believed that his blackboards were not
merely illustrations, but a necessary part of the process of awareness: "This
is not just a question of understanding things in one's head in order to express
them in words, but a comprehensive and total experience." Joseph Beuys’
public discussions—lectures on politics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and
social relations that often served as catalysts for other work—exemplifed
his role as artist, teacher, and activist.
Artists Kathryn Miller, Doug Buis, Ruth Wallen and Susan Leibovitz Steinman
join together with special guests (TBA) in a panel discussion to explore the
potential for artists to "TEACHART" through story-telling and idea
sharing via performative lectures when addressing aesthetics and ecology.
Lecture series organizer, Patricia Watts, founder and curator of www.ecoartspace.org,
will be the moderator.
