Date: Friday, June 2, 10:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.
Location: Getty Center, Museum Lecture Hall
This conference brings together a dynamic group of artists and scholars to participate
in a day of lectures, dialogues, screenings, and performances that explore moments of intersection between the visual arts, dance, and other forms of cultural production.
Featured speakers are Elise Archias, Martin Kersels,
Carrie Lambert-Beatty, Babette Mangolte, Peggy Phelan, and Branislav Jakovljevic.
About Movement and the Visual Arts
Over the last 40 years, boundaries between visual art, dance, and performance
have become increasingly fluid, with many artists moving continuously between multiple types of creative activity.
Some of the most important artworks from this period defy easy classification, and at times it is difficult to determine whether a work should be considered dance, performance, or even
sculpture.
This conference examines whether a more generalized rubric such as "movement" may be a productive starting point for the investigation of creative
cohesions between these varied artistic practices.
LA Art Girls
Throughout the day on the grounds of the Getty Center, the artist collective
LA Art Girls presents short performances, interventions, and other impromptu
activities inspired by Fluxus objects and events from the special collections of the Research Library at the Getty Research Institute.
