We follow this past week's broad reflections on art and duration by introducing a wide-ranging group of featured guests who will address during Week 2.
For this week, I am joined a number of curators and artists whose international exhibitionds and interventions probe the extent of duration across the broadest spectrum of the arts: performance, poetry, installation, architecture, painting, and new media. Following up last week's reflections on indigeneity, we will feature Jolene Rickard of the Tuscarora Nation, along with voices from China and Germany and the US. So welcome to our discussion, featured guests, Renate Ferro (US), Jolene Rickard (Tuscarora Nation), Jolene Rickard (Tuscarora Nation), Lyrae van Clief-Stefanon (US), Hongbin Wu (China), and Sasa Zivkovic (US/Germany).
