Series: The Clark

Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert (Vassar College), the Research and Academic Program's Caribbean Art and Its Diasporas Fellow presents a talk on the role of artists in addressing concerns about the vulnerability of the population of the poor communities living along the banks of the Ozama River in Santo Domingo in the face of violent political repression, rampant environmental pollution, and the impacts of climate change.

Small is working on a book that takes as its point of departure the Brazilian artist Lygia Clark’s concept of “the organic line.” Small suggests that Lygia Clark’s concept regarding this line compels us to reconsider fundamental terms such as medium, mark, and edge, while providing a model for transforming linear and comparative models of art history into topological formations. These formations, in turn, mutually deform the “center” and the “periphery.”

Clark Fellow Lisa Lee (Emory University) considers contemporary artist Thomas Hirschhorn’s strategies and motivations for using unorthodox modes of circulation—gifting, pamphleting, hawking, abandoning—in pursuit of a nonexclusive audience for his work. By setting his work in movement across Paris, Hirschhorn’s experimental incursions into public space increasingly tested the possibility of meaningful communication.
