 PAST ART SPEAK EVENTS
Art:21 Season 5 / "Systems" (film screening)
Art:21 Program 4: Julie Mehretu, John Baldessari, Kimsooja, and Allan McCollum
Systems, the fourth program of season 5 from Art:21, focuses on artists
who realize complex projects, whether through acts of appropriation,
accumulation, living as an artist-nomad, or creating projects so vast
in scope as to elude comprehension. This film explores how artists use
systems and how artists invent new grammars and logics in today’s
supercharged, information-based society. Art:21 Systems will premiere
on PBS Wednesday, October 28 at 10 p.m. AVA and co-presenting sponsor
WTCI will host an advanced screening.
Wednesday, October 21, 2009, 5:30-7pm
Art:21 Season 5 / "Transformation" (film screening)
Art:21 Program 3: Yinka Shonibare MBE, Cindy Sherman, and Paul McCarthy
Transformation, the third program of the award winning PBS Art:21
series, poses the questions of what strategies do we use to refashion
identity and do we seek extremes in order to see ourselves more
clearly? The artists in this episode populate their work with dolls,
mannequins, and their own and others’ bodies in ambiguous narratives.
Whether observing and satirizing society or reinventing icons of
literature, art history and popular culture, these artists inhabit the
characters they create and capture the sensibilities of our age. Art:21
Transformation will premiere on PBS Wednesday, October 21 at 10 p.m.
AVA and co-presenting sponsor WTCI will host an advanced screening.

An Exploration into the Living Brain
Dr. Hutson, a neuroradiologist, will explain and discuss the various
methods used to capture images of the living human brain as well as how
far we have come from traditional illustrations that once dominated our
collective image of the brain. He will walk us through the techniques
used to render the raw data collected from medical imaging devices and
teach us a bit of neuroanatomy to give us a better understanding of the
structure of the brain.

The Chattanooga Legacy of Architect R. H. Hunt
R. H. Hunt was the foremost architect in Chattanooga and one of the
most prolific architects in the country from 1886-1937. Yet, he has
been the subject of little scholarship. This talk will review some of
the recent research on Hunt's work in Chattanooga. Chances are you are
familiar with his buildings and just didn't know it.

Time as Art: Cameras, Metronomes, and FAX Machines
Although the term "Time Based Art" is a more recent development, the practice is not and includes those works, which are dependent on time itself for the maturation or completion of the experience. This talk and discussion, led by Phillip Lewis, will focus on works that not only involve time in its processes, but also tend to focus on the measuring of that time as it's primary concern. Although film and video are most commonly associated with time-based media, we will survey works in sound, web, installation, photographic media and sculpture to explore the potential and complexity of time concepts and cross-disciplinary approaches.
